Cong move on resettlement colonies a farce: BJP

BJP leader Harshvardhan on Wednesday said the Congress government had failed on all fronts be it power,water,transport,health,education,governance in unauthorised colonies,roads,water-logging,PDS,clean and honest government

BJP leader Harshvardhan on Wednesday said the Congress government had failed on all fronts be it power,water,transport,health,education,governance in unauthorised colonies,roads,water-logging,PDS,clean and honest government.

He was responding to the Sheila Dikshit government releasing a brochure listing its achievements in the last 15 years and announcing that the party would hand over house ownership rights in resettlement colonies.

The Delhi BJP termed the much-hyped announcement of the Delhi government giving ownership papers to residents of 45 resettlement colonies as a farce.

The government is charging hefty money for giving these ownership papers,which is totally uncalled for. The people of the 45 resettlement colonies have been living there for decades as these colonies were developed between 1960 and 1980 and,thus,they have natural rights over the plots they have been residing on. So,the Delhi governments announcement means practically nothing to the residents, Delhi BJP president Vijay Goel said.

The government is charging a hefty amount on par with the circle rates from nearly seven-lakh families living in these colonies for giving something which is already owned by them. So,in reality,the Congress government is coercing them to cough up hefty amounts in the name of giving ownership papers, Goel said.
