Ahead of Delhi Assembly Elections, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has alleged that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will demolish all the slums in Delhi, if the saffron party wins the elections.

While speaking at a press conference at Shakur Basti, AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal said," BJP will demolish the slums as soon as the elections are over on February 8."

A post from AAP on X (formerly Twitter) reads, "BJP is cheating the slum dwellers. BJP is saying that they will give houses in place of slums but on 30 September 2024, the railways tendered this land. 15 days ago LG changed the land use of these slums. The slum dwellers have no idea that the people playing Carrom with the children in their houses will demolish the slums as soon as the elections are over on 8th February."

BJP झुग्गीवासियों को दे रही है धोखा‼️

👉BJP कह रही है कि झुग्गियों की जगह मकान देंगे लेकिन 30 सितंबर, 2024 को रेलवे ने इस ज़मीन के टेंडर कर दिए।
👉15 दिन पहले LG ने इन झुग्गियों की ज़मीन का Land Use चेंज कर दिया।

The former CM of Delhi has also accused that the BJP has rendered 3 lakh slum dwellers homeless.

BJP को वोट देना मतलब, अपनी आत्महत्या पर Sign करना‼️

👉BJP ने सारी झुग्गियों को तोड़ने की योजना बना रखी है कि कौन सी झुग्गियों की ज़मीन किसे देनी है।
👉अगर झुग्गीवासियों ने BJP को वोट दी तो BJP एक साल में ही सारी झुग्गियों को तोड़ देगी।
👉BJP ने 3 लाख झुग्गीवालों को बेघर किया है।… pic.twitter.com/l0fWvkeuLs

Replying to Kejriwal's visit at Shakur Basti, Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva said, as quoted by PTI, "Today, Arvind Kejriwal reached Shakur Basti, and even there, the residents rejected him. Everyone knows the condition Arvind Kejriwal has brought Delhi to in the past 10 years. And now, when people are saying that they need to replace 'aapda' with BJP, Kejriwal cannot tolerate it. The residents of these slums trust the guarantees given by PM Modi."
