Delhi Chief Minister Atishi addressed the Shakur Basti issue, stating that the documents are ‘clear’ and exposing the BJP’s false claims. She further accused the BJP of being ‘anti-slum’ and ‘anti-poor’.
Speaking to the media before filing her nomination for the Delhi Assembly elections, CM Atishi stated, “Yesterday evening, LG Sahab issued a statement that Arvind Kejriwal is lying, but the documents are absolutely clear. DDA meeting was held, and land use was changed, so it is absolutely clear that BJP’s lie has been caught. BJP leaders go to the slums, eat food with the people there, play carrom with the children and after a few months, they demolish all those slums.”
“BJP is an anti-slum party, anti-poor party and apart from demolishing the slums, they have not done any work for the slum dwellers of Delhi till date,” she further asserted.
This followed Arvind Kejriwal’s allegation that the BJP had ‘tendered’ the land for the Shakur Basti slum and accused LG Saxena of ‘changing the rules’.
Earlier, on Sunday, Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena criticized Kejriwal, calling his statement on Shakur Basti ‘a complete lie’.
On Monday, Delhi Chief Minister and AAP candidate Atishi offered prayers at the Kalkaji Temple in New Delhi before filing her nomination for the Delhi Assembly polls.
Addressing the media, she expressed gratitude for the love and support from the people of the Kalkaji Assembly.
CM Atishi noted, “Today I am going to file my nomination and before filing my nomination I have come to Kalkaji temple to seek blessings of Kalkaji Mai. May the blessings of Kalkaji Mai remain on AAP and the people of Kalkaji, Delhi. The people of Kalkaji have given me a lot of love. I am not contesting the election of Kalkaji but the people of Kalkaji are contesting it.”
The Delhi Chief Minister is contesting the Kalkaji seat against BJP’s Ramesh Bidhuri and Congress’ Alka Lamba.
The Delhi Assembly elections will held in a single phase on 5 February, with the vote counting on 8 February.
