CM has ordered demolition of houses in Shalimar Bagh, alleges AAP

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Friday said they “strongly oppose” the alleged demolition of houses belonging to poor residents in Shalimar Bagh, the constituency of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta.

AAP president Saurabh Bharadwaj and Burari MLA Sanjeev Jha visited Shalimar Bagh, met the affected families, and assured them that no injustice would be allowed against them.

Mr. Bharadwaj alleged that during the Delhi election, Ms. Gupta had sought votes by touching the feet of these very people, but after becoming Chief Minister, she has now ordered the demolition of their houses. He also posted videos on X of people “protesting” against the demolition and urging the government to save their houses.

The Delhi BJP did not respond to the allegations.
