Lekhi Claimed Fraud in Kathputli
The issue of relocation of artists of Kathputli colony is becoming a major election problem in the New Delhi constituency. BJP candidate Meenakshi Lekhi is the latest, after Aam Aadmi Party, to accuse authorities of a “land Scam” in the situ redevelopment of the area. She also demanded a CBI probe for the matter.
As per Lekhi, an inquiry of CBI should be organized and the LG should stop the relocation of residents till the probe is complete,. A head Senior BJP leader says that the Congress-led-Delhi government didn’t keep the residents’ interest in mind while planning the redevelopment. Colony residents had asked LG Najeeb Jung to finish the relocation process a month ago.
Days left for elections, political parties are capitalizing on the issue to gather support from people living in the area and in close slum clusters. AAP’s candidate from New Delhi, Ashish Khetan, had attempted to stay the night in Kathputli Colony but was not granted to do so.
