Delhi LG accuses Kejriwal of lying about Shakur Basti land use

Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena says, "Today Arvind Kejriwal went near the slums of Shakur Basti. The statement he gave there regarding the Shakur Basti is a complete lie. Citing the DDA meeting of 27 December, he said that LG has changed the Land Use of this land (Shakur Basti land). DDA has neither changed the Land Use of this colony nor has DDA given any eviction or demolition notice. Kejriwal is deliberately telling a blatant lie and misleading the people...  Kejriwal ji's two MLAs were present in the DDA meeting on 27 December. If Kejriwal ji had talked to them (AAP MLAs), then perhaps he would not have lied. My advice to him is that he should stop lying on this subject with immediate effect. Otherwise, DDA will take action against them...If he must have gone inside the slum and walked 2-3 km there, he must have seen the miserable conditions in which the people are living. Who is the mastermind of this miserable condition? Sanitation, water supply, health services, MCD everything comes under Kejriwal ji. As far as DDA is concerned, till now it has given model flats to thousands of slum dwellers under PM Modi's 'Jaha Jhuggi Wahan Makan' Yojana. They are living a respectful life..."
