`Congress ruining livelihood of lakhs'

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: Senior Bharatiya Janata Party councillor Vijender Gupta has alleged that the ruling Congress was pursuing anti-people policies to ruin the livelihoods of lakhs of people of Delhi. This was clearly evident from the fact that the Congress Government in Delhi and in the civic body has failed to present true facts about shops running from residential areas before the Supreme Court and Delhi High Court, he alleged.

On one hand the Delhi Government was not considering resolutions passed by the MCD and on the other the Congress was bringing identical resolution in the State Assembly. On March 9, the MCD Standing Committee passed resolutions to implement an action plan for relocation of hawkers keeping in abeyance the provisos 343, 344, 345 and 347 of the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act to stop sealing of commercial establishments on roads having width of 80 feet and allowing mixed land use in the Delhi Master Plan 2021.

The resolutions sent to the Delhi Government for approval to which no attention was paid, he alleged.

Had the Congress-ruled Corporation approved it, petty shopkeepers and traders would have got relief.
