AAP Accuses Delhi LG VK Saxena Of Lying Over Shakur Basti Land Use Dispute

In a dispute between Delhi LG VK Saxena and Arvind Kejriwal over a slum, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday, citing a Delhi Development Authority (DDA) meeting, accused the LG of lying and demanded an apology.

Earlier on Sunday, Delhi LG VK Saxena criticized Kejriwal, calling his statement on Shakur Basti ‘a complete lie’.

This follows Arvind Kejriwal’s claim that the BJP “tendered” the land for the Shakur Basti slum. He also accused LG Saxena of ‘changing the rules’.

The AAP referred to the fourth Technical Committee meeting of the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) held on 20 December 2024.

The meeting however included a proposal to change the land use of a 4.63-hectare piece of railway land in Shakur Basti from ‘Transportation’ to ‘Residential’.

The letter from the DDA stated, “After detailed deliberations, the proposal for Change of Land Use as contained in the agenda item was approved subject to the examination of the Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) report for the overall development planned by RLDA on entire railway land in Shakurbasti, Zone G.”

Meanwhile, AAP quickly responded, asserting, “We have caught the LG’s lie. Documents show that the land use of the slum area changed. The LG should apologize for his lie.”

On Sunday, Arvind Kejriwal visited Shakur Basti, accusing the BJP of ‘tendering’ the land. He stated, “Their LG sahab has also changed the rules.”

In response, LG Saxena criticized Kejriwal, calling his statement on Shakur Basti ‘a complete lie’.

“Today Arvind Kejriwal went near the slums of Shakur Basti. The statement he gave there regarding the Shakur Basti is a complete lie. Citing the DDA meeting of 27 December, he said that LG has changed the Land Use of this land (Shakur Basti land). DDA has neither changed the Land Use of this colony nor has DDA given any eviction or demolition notice. Kejriwal is deliberately telling a blatant lie and misleading the people,” Saxena said.
