Delhi BJP accuses Cong of neglecting people of rural areas

Delhi BJP today accused Congress government of not heeding to the problems of people in rural areas of the city.
Addressing a rally here, Delhi BJP president Vijay Goel accused Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit of "neglecting" people of rural areas for last over 14 years.
"Neither Lal Dora has been extended nor Section 81 of the Delhi Land Reforms Act has been removed during last over 14 years of Congress rule.
"In addition to other development issues, these are two fundamental issues concerning all villages in the city. The Congress manifestos during previous two elections clearly made a false promise regarding these two issues," he said in BJP's 'Grameen Akrosh' rally held at Brijwasan here.

He also said that the Delhi Government is "misleading" people by claiming that those living in Lal Dora area, unauthorised colonies and extended abadi areas will be able to get their properties registered and carry out construction after approval of building plans by the authorities concerned.
"This government has failed to provide even a single glass of clean water to half of the city. Delhi Jal Board headed by the Chief Minister is supplying contaminated water.
"Worst affected are the rural areas which have to largely rely on private water tankers even for daily needs," he said.
