New Delhi, August 18
Criticising the Modi government, Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president Ajay Maken today said his party would approach the court for construction of toilets in slums as the Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan turned out to be a “jumla” by the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.
Anguished by the Union Government’s refusal to provide toilets in ‘slums’ of the national Capital, Maken said that while the BJP is spending crores of rupees on advertisements of Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan, in reality it is being “cruel” to refuse the basic needs of toilets in the jhuggi areas.
The MCDs have returned a number of applications submitted for construction of toilets in slum areas on the pretext of non-availability of land, he said.
