New Delhi: Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Monday inaugurated a drainage construction project in a local slum area, marking what she described as the beginning of “achhe din” (good days) for slum-dwellers who, she said, were long neglected by previous governments.
“Today, we started the work of constructing drainage in this slum area. ‘Achhe din’ is beginning for the slum-dwellers after years, work will actually be done for their slums and colonies,” CM Gupta stated while addressing a gathering of local residents.
She took aim at earlier administrations, accusing them of using the poor as a vote bank. “Previous governments didn’t care about the slum-dwellers, they only used them as vote bank. They instilled fear in them that BJP would clear the slums,” she said.
Gupta said the start of infrastructure work in the area is a clear message that the BJP, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is committed to inclusive development. “The work starting here today is a message to the people in slums that under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi, the BJP government is taking care of every poor,” she asserted.
