New Delhi: Chairman of Delhi BJP Adesh Gupta, opposition leader in Delhi Ramvir Assembly Singh Bidhuri and other BJP Delhi functionaries will start ‘Jhuggi Yatra’ from Friday in an attempt to connect with the selection of slum houses in front of 2022 city polls.
Gupta said party officials would hold a dialogue with people living in various slums during the ‘Jhuggi Yatra,’ which will start from Moti Nagar.
“We will talk to Jhuggis’s head, women other than other people there, listen to their problems such as water, sewers, and other basic infrastructure problems, and try to solve them for their satisfaction,” he continued.
Bidhuri said the central government had brought many schemes to make the lives of poor people better.
“There are around 700 slums in the capital place around 20 lakh people live.
We want to make their lives better.
The Government of Narendra Modi has provided a variety of schemes for them such as Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana, YOJNA Ujjawala and PM Street Vendor Nidhi.
We will help them Get the benefits of this scheme, “he said.
Bidhuri claimed that the AAP government had promised rehabilitation to the residents of the slum when in power, but it was not fulfilled.
“Thousands of slums inhabitants do not have a ration card and they also do not get a ration intended for poor people without a ration card,” BJP official said.
