Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday charged Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) with delay in giving property ownership rights to residents of unauthorised colonies in Delhi in its five-years' rule.
Laying foundation stone of the Bharat Vandana Park in Dwarka area by the DDA, Shah also challenged Kejriwal to have a debate with West Delhi BJP MP Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma on the issue of unauthorised colonies.
"I want to tell the residents of 1,731 unauthorised colonies that your ownership rights were delayed by five years due to the Delhi chief minister and his Aam Aadmi Party. It was obstructed under a conspiracy to shift blame on the Centre," Shah, who is the BJP president, said.
He said that the Modi government, showing political resolve, came out with a legislation for finding an administrative way to provide ownership rights on properties in these colonies by dealing with 30 existing laws.
He alleged that the ruling AAP and Kejriwal were trying to mislead people over the issue of unauthorised colonies.
