Congress’ false claims on unauthorised colonies exposed by CAG report: Goel

Rajya Sabha MP and former Delhi BJP President Sh. Vijay Goel today said

that the blatant lies of Congress have been exposed by the CAG report on unauthorised colonies which

exposed the lack of use of funds and absence of facilities in unauthorised colonies during Congress rule in

In a statement issued today Sh. Goel said, “The CAG report says that the urban development department

of the government has failed to provide basic services like sewer lines, water lines, roads and drainage to

all the 895 unauthorized colonies despite incurring an expenditure of Rs 3,029.21 crore up to March 2013.”

“We had raised this issue in the past that how Congress claims of development in unauthorised colonies

were blatant lies. We are going to press for action against all those inc power in Delhi and were responsible

Sh. Goel said it is clear that thousands of crores of rupees went down the drain even as no basic facilities

were provided. “The point is who pocketed this money? We must remember that this was hard earned

money of taxpayers and accountability must be fixed for the misuse of funds.”

“It is clear that Congress displayed gross insensitivity to the needs of lakhs of people in unauthorised

colonies. All its claims regarding any development in these colonies remained on paper. Chief Minister

Sheila Dikshit and her cabinet was responsible for it.”

Sh. Goel said , the CAG report also points out clearly that even the regularisation process of these colonies

was not carried out properly leaving many gaps. The Urban Development Ministry during UPA regime failed

“The CAG report indicates how Congress adopted a very casual and ad-hoc approach to an issue which

affected lives of atleast three to four million residents in Delhi. It is shocking and it also shows the Congress

regime in Delhi and UPA regime at Centre was hand in glove in this scam.”
