Bidhuri targets BJP

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: Delhi Nationalist Congress Party chief Ramvir Singh Bidhuri on Monday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of failure to fulfil its promise of stopping sealing and demolitions in Delhi on coming to power in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi.

Initiating a short duration discussion, Mr. Bidhuri said it was shameful that sealing and demolitions were still continuing. Describing the BJP as anti-farmer and anti-villager, he said of the six important posts in the MCD of Mayor, Standing Committee Chairman, Leader of the House and their respective deputies, the party had not given one post to a person from Delhi's rural areas.

Asserting that all along the BJP had been responsible for the mess that Delhi is in, he said former Union Urban Development Ministers Jagmohan and Ananth Kumar from the BJP ranks had themselves supported sealing and demolitions and rejected the proposed amendments to the Master Plan for Delhi and the suggestions made by the Malhotra Committee that had sought to give relief to the people.

In view of such "double standards", he said, the BJP should apologise to the people of Delhi.
