The Delhi Development Authority on Monday said that statements regarding the demolition of slums in Delhi were “false” and “mischievous” and “motivated with an intent to mislead the people”. The DDA’s statement came a day after Delhi ministers Atishi and Saurabh Bharadwaj visited two slum clusters in the capital and accused the BJP of conspiring to remove the slum dwellers. The statement cited media reports about the statements made by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders, including Atishi, Bharadwaj and Gopal Rai, alleging “surveys being conducted by the DDA for demolishing slums”.
