Amit Shah calls AAP 'disaster'; promises permanent housing for Delhi slum dwellers if BJP wins

New Indian Express  

NEW DELHI: Echoing Prime Minister Narendra Modi assurances, senior BJP leader and Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said not a single scheme for the welfare of the poor will be stopped once their party forms the government in the national capital. Addressing the BJP’s slum dwellers’ conference in the city, Shah launched a scathing attack on the AAP, calling it an ‘AAPda’ and the primary obstacle to Delhi’s development. Shah mentioned that last year, on this very day, there was the victorious chant of Ram Lalla’s Pran Pratishtha, and today, BJP’s chant for forming the Delhi government could be heard. They’ve turned Delhi into hell by piling garbage on the streets and riverbanks.” He further said the Modi government has spent `68,000 crore on development work in Delhi, and if anyone asks what has been done for the slum dwellers, then tell them that the responsibility for that lies with Kejriwal’s government.
