BJP takes 10,000 slum dwellers to Kalkaji EWS flats in Delhi

The Hindu  

The BJP on Sunday took around 10,000 slum dwellers to visit the recently constructed flats for the Economically Weaker Sections at Bhumiheen Camp in Kalkaji. The move comes days after the party, in its manifesto for the civic body polls, promised to help seven lakh families living in the slums get a pucca house by 2027 under various Central schemes. South Delhi MP Ramesh Bidhuri took on AAP’s Delhi government saying that it had not fulfilled any promise made to the city’s slum dwellers. The party took people from 50 Assembly constituencies with significant population of slum dwellers, including Seemapuri, Badli, Rohini, Tughlakabad, Mundka, and Sultanpur Majra, on the visit.
