BJP schemes will help the needy in the slum areas
New Delhi: The Delhi BJP Govt. plans to open 'NaMo Sewa Kendras' in slum pockets of around 32 Assembly constituencies. According to BJP leader, this plan will strengthen its outreach drive "Jhuggi Samman Yatra" ahead of the major municipal corporation polls early next year.
Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) has ruled the three municipal corporations since 2007. On the occasion of Vijay Dashmi (October 15), the party launched "Jhuggi Samman Yatra" to seek awareness within the slum areas about the steps taken by the Modi Govt, also highlighting the failures of the Delhi Govt.
Delhi BJP president Adesh Gupta and other leaders have spanned the slum pockets in 17 Assembly constituencies across Delhi under its "Jhuggi Samman Yatra". BJP has identified 32 such constituencies with a high density of slum groups.
According to the senior functionary of the Delhi BJP, "The NaMo Sewa Kendras will serve as centres to directly help slum dwellers get benefited by Modi government schemes like Ujjwala Yojna, Jahan Jhuggi Wahan Makan among others."
He also added, during these visits, it was felt that many people were unable to reap the benefits of the Modi government's schemes although they faced a major problem of water supply, electricity, sewer and other such amenities that come under the domain of Kejriwal government.
The concept of NaMo Sewa Kendras is to help at least those who are within their reach.
BJP leaders claimed the "Jhuggi Samman Yatra" is getting an "excellent response" in the slum groups of the city.
"We have already started helping people get Ujjwala Yojna gas connections and register them from other benefits of schemes like Jan Dhan Yojna. The needy people are also being provided immediate help through the distribution of sarees to women and ration kits," said Delhi BJP vice president Aditya Jha.
