NEW DELHI
Deputy CM Shri Manish Sisodia on Friday wrote to Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah and said that the Centre must intervene and protect Delhiites from the havoc BJP is causing. He stated that the BJP has pledged to destroy Delhi in the name of Bulldozer Justice and BJP leaders are playing petty politics to extort money from the public and gain political mileage. The Deputy CM argued that BJP’s fanatical politics will drive Delhi into doom and leave 70% residents on the verge of homelessness. He asserted that the Kejriwal Government stands in solidarity with the people of Delhi and said, “we will put our lives on the line, we will go to jail but we won’t let BJP’s terror prevail.”
Addressing a press conference on Friday, Shri Manish Sisodia said, “Through its ‘Bulldozer Politics,’ the BJP is planning to evict 63 lakh people from their homes in Delhi. MCD has issued notices to 50 lakh individuals living in 1750 illegal colonies and 10 lakh people living in 860 slum areas and Jhuggi-Jhopri Clusters on the BJP’s orders.”
The Deputy Chief Minister added, “The BJP intends to bulldoze every house in these colonies. In addition, the BJP-led MCD has sent summons to 3 lakh persons across the city who have made even minor changes to their homes’ structure. This plot would result in India’s worst calamity in history, with over 60 lakh people being homeless as a result of the BJP’s bulldozer tactics in Delhi. There will be widespread outrage.” He went on to say that if 70% of Delhi’s population becomes homeless all at once, there will be no greater damage in India’s history.
He added, “The Kejriwal government is vehemently opposed to any politics that threatens to devastate the nation’s capital. Although the BJP’s term in MCD has come to an end, the party continues to move around the city with bulldozers demolishing houses and performing recovery work.” He continued, “Over the years, the BJP has enabled these colonies to prosper, make money, and now it is demolishing them.”
The Deputy Chief Minister assured residents of Delhi that the Aam Aadmi Party and the Kejriwal Government will go to whatever length to safeguard people’s homes. He stated that we are even willing to go to jail if necessary. We strongly reject the BJP’s recovery plan, which includes bulldozing residences all throughout the city.
He urged Home Minister Amit Shah to take tough measures against the BJP’s actions in Delhi, which he said are harming the lives of ordinary people. “In the last 17 years, BJP leaders and MCD officials have furiously sanctioned unauthorised buildings across Delhi, made a lot of money, and are now displacing people under the pretence of Bulldozer politics. Action should be taken against such leaders and officials, not the public. First, their dwellings should be bulldozed.”
