Delhi govt. Gimmick plans Afoot on illegal colonies : BJP

New Delhi, 12 June 2012:  Delhi BJP Spokesman Mr. Vijay Jolly, MLA Dharm Deo Solanki & BJP unauthorized colonies Convener Krishan Gehlot today accused Delhi Govt. for its gimmick plans afoot on the issue of development in 1,639 unauthorized colonies in Delhi. Sheila Govt. has repeatedly tricked the poor people in illegal colonies only with the aim of securing their votes just before the 2003 & 2008 Delhi assembly elections. Sheila Dikshit meeting & thanking UD Minister Kamal Nath on the issue is like throwing “dust in the eyes” of 55 lakh poor people living in unauthorized colonies.

BJP Spokesman Mr. Jolly recalled that UPA Chairperson Smt. Sonia Gandhi had distributed provisional certificates to RWAs of unauthorized colonies at Chhatrasal Stadium on 4^th Oct 2008. And in the presence of then UD Minister Mr. Jaipal Reddy & Delhi CM Sheila Dikshit. It was described as a historic moment for the planed development of illegal colonies. UPA Chairperson Smt. Sonia Gandhi at that time had complimented Delhi Govt. for making provision of Rs. 2,800 crore for executing development works in these colonies.

But BJP Leader Mr. Jolly, Dharm Deo & Gehlot revealed that Delhi govt. floated tenders for Rs. 700 crore. Works worth Rs. 300 crore were only executed. And after coming to power again, Delhi Govt. cancelled tenders worth Rs. 400 crore. So Sonia Gandhi’s accolades were mere rhetoric’s stated BJP Spokesman Mr. Jolly.

The recent CAG report tabled in Delhi assembly reveals the non utilization of Rs. 372.66 crore meant for development works in unauthorized colonies. BJP leader Mr. Jolly said the Delhi Govt. could only spend 26% of the funds whereas 74% of the funds were left unspent. This is the non serious approach of Delhi Govt. on unauthorized colonies stated BJP leaders.

BJP Spokesman Mr. Jolly, Dharmdeo Solanki & Krishan Gehlot said that MLA & MCD Councilors fund is not allowed to be used for development in unauthorized colonies by Delhi govt. The slow progress on the issue is due to the tortoise working style of Delhi Urban Development Ministry of Delhi Govt. With only 17 months left for the next Delhi assembly polls, Delhi govt. has again started its “gimmick campaign” to befool the poor people living in illegal colonies stated BJP Spokesman Mr. Jolly.
