The AAP leader further said, “It seems that bjp is bent upon making people homeless in this bitter cold. Before the elections, bjp promises to provide houses to slum dwellers and after the elections, it starts demolishing their houses,” he alleged, in violation of court decisions. Houses are being demolished without any attention to rehabilitation.
