New Delhi: Amid the Union Government’s decision on the unauthorized colony of the Capital, AAP has said that the BJP’s central government has tried to fool the residents of unauthorised colonies through its last minute pre-election deceptive announcement about the regularisation of these colonies.
The Modi government’s announcement is nothing but a repeat of what the former Sheila Dikshit government had done before the 2008 assembly elections for which it was held guilty by the Lokayukta and the Camptroller and Auditor General.
The Modi government has replayed the cruel joke on these poor people, which was earlier played on them by the Sheila Dikshit government. Regularisation of unauthorised colonies requires a law passed by parliament and the Modi government failed to do so since last seven months and now at the last moment, it is trying an unsuccessful election gimmick.
The AAP makes it clear that this announcement will not be of any help for the residents since on the basis of this cabinet decision nor will the people be able to legally get their houses registered nor will they be able to get their maps approved. For these, prior approvals from the revenue department and agencies like the DDA will be required. It is also clear that no home loans will be available unless all legal clearances are provided.
Apart from these legal issues, another major problem that will still remain is related to basic amenities. Electricity and water connections along with sewer and water pipelines is a major problem in these colonies and any decision without the legal backing of law will continue to compound their problems.
In case the Modi government was serious, it should have first got the maps approved for these colonies from the concerned authorities.The AAP will bring a bill in the state assembly to resolve the long standing issues of unauthorised colonies in Delhi.
