Bill on regularising unauthorised colonies 'huge fraud': AAP

Calling the Bill introduced in Lok Sabha to regularise unauthorised colonies in Delhi a "huge fraud", the AAP on Tuesday demanded that residents of such areas should get registry of their houses before the assembly elections.

Polls in the national capital are due early next year.

The Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) comments came as the BJP-led central government has planned to give registry to some residents of these colonies before the polls and to others after the assembly elections.

The National Capital Territory of Delhi (Recognition of Property Rights of Residents in Unauthorised Colonies) Bill, 2019, was introduced by Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri in the Lower House.

"The question is, who will be these 100 people? And what is the fault of millions of people living in unauthorised colonies of Delhi who are awaiting registry for several decades?
