Delhi state BJP has accused Delhi Govt. for its gimmick plans afoot on the issue of development in 1,639 unauthorized colonies in Delhi. Party said that Sheila Govt. has repeatedly tricked the poor people in illegal colonies only with the aim of securing their votes just before the 2003 and 2008 Delhi assembly elections. Sheila Dikshit meeting and thanking UD Minister Kamal Nath on the issue is like throwing "dust in the eyes" of 55 lakh poor people living in unauthorized colonies.
Party spokesman Vijay Jolly said that UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi had distributed provisional certificates to RWAs of unauthorized colonies at Chhatrasal Stadium on 4th Oct 2008 in the presence of then UD Minister Mr. Jaipal Reddy and Delhi CM Sheila Dikshit.
It was described as a historic moment for the planed development of illegal colonies. UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi at that time had complimented Delhi Govt. for making provision of Rs. 2,800 crore for executing development works in these colonies.But Delhi govt. floated tenders for Rs. 700 crore. Works worth Rs. 300 crore were only executed. After coming to power again, Delhi Govt. cancelled tenders worth Rs. 400 crore.
The recent CAG report tabled in Delhi assembly reveals the non-utilization of Rs. 372.66 crore meant for development works in unauthorized colonies. BJP leader Jolly said the Delhi Govt. could only spend 26% of the funds whereas 74% of the funds were left unspent. This is the non-serious approach of Delhi Govt. on unauthorized colonies stated BJP leaders.
