After inaugurating several development projects in her constituency Shalimar Bagh, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said that ‘good days’ for those living in slums are starting, as ‘actually’ work will be done for slums and colonies.
The Chief Minister said that the amount of Rs 700 crore in the Delhi Urban Shelter Reform Board (DUSIB) is for the welfare of the slums and 52,000 flats built 10 years ago will now be given to the slums after renewal.
Criticizing the previous governments, CM Gupta said that he did not work for those living in slums and misled people that the BJP government will not work for them, but today the BJP government is taking care of every poor and ensuring basic facilities, water, parks, toilets for them.
Talking to reporters, the Chief Minister said, “Today we have started the construction of a drain in this slum area. After years, good days are starting for those living in the slums. Now their slums and colonies will be done. The previous governments did not care about those living in slums, they used to use them as a vote bank. Will give a message to those living in slums starting here today that the BJP government is taking care of every poor under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
CM Gupta said, “The Delhi government is committed to completing these tasks. A fund of Rs 700 crore in the Delhi Urban Shelter Reforms Board (DUSIB) is especially for the welfare of the slums and moreover, 52,000 flats that were ready to live 10 years ago, we will renew them and give them to the slums.”
