Kejriwal govt running on an arbitrary, unconstitutional system: Sachdeva
Addressing a press conference, the Delhi BJP chief said, “The Arvind Kejriwal government operates in an arbitrary and unconstitutional manner.
In a review meeting held to discuss the progress of the flats constructed under the ‘Jahan Jhuggi, Wahin Makan’ scheme on Monday, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal directed the officials to expedite the allocation of flats to their beneficiaries.
He also asked the officials to bring any issue cropping up in the implementation of the scheme. “So that they can be effectively removed and families can be shifted to their new homes and can lead a life of dignity,” Kejriwal added.
The Delhi government has planned to provide concrete shelter to slum dwellers under ‘Jahan Jhuggi, Wahin Makan’ scheme, which would be panned out in three phases and 89,400 families would be benefitted from it.
