Kejriwal slams BJP for lying about regularising colonies

New Delhi, December 29

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday claimed the BJP has been “blatantly lying” about regularising unauthorised colonies and thanked Urban Development Minister Hardeep Singh Puri for “telling truth” on the issue through Delhi Development Authority.

Tagging his deputy Manish Sisodia’s tweet in which he shared FAQs (frequently asked questions) from DDA website on unauthorised colonies, Kejriwal claimed the website shows that the Centre’s scheme would neither regularise unauthorised colonies nor the houses there.

“The DDA website says that the Centre’s scheme will neither regularise unauthoriseds colonies nor their houses. Really shocking. Can’t believe that the BJP spoke such a blatant lie to the people and has put up so many hoardings. Thanks @HardeepSPuri ji for telling truth to people through DDA website,” Kejriwal tweeted. Sisodia said BJP was deliberately misleading the people.

“If they really want to regularise the unauthoriszed colonies why don’t they give registry to the people,” he told reporters in a press conference.

“The DDA in its website clearly mentions -This policy is not for regularisation of the unauthorised colonies nor of the structures therein,” Sisodia said, showing the FAQs. — PTI
