Referring to the Ordinance to regularise unauthorised colonies in Delhi, BJP's national secretary Shrikant Sharma said it will go a long way in helping lakhs of people get basic civic amenities.
"This will help provide relief to lakhs in the national capital and will help improve their living conditions," he said.
Terming the Land Acquisition Ordinance as a "landmark decision", Sharma said, "it will go a long way in protecting the interests of farmers, help them get a raised compensation and help in both infrastructure-building and ensuring development in the country."
"The steps taken today reflect the political will and government's commitment towards reforms that Congress tried to stall it by creating obstacles in Parliament. BJP welcomes these reforms," Sharma said.
He said the reforms process is a continuous one and the government is committed to bring the country's economy back on track, which was derailed due to the "misgovernance and corruption" by the previous Congress-led government.
He also said that the government connected the common man with economy through the Jan Dhan scheme.
In a decision that will benefit about 60 lakh people in poll-bound Delhi, Union Cabinet today approved an Ordinance to regularise 895 unauthorised colonies which have come up till June 1 this year.
