Delhi BJP Lok Sabha MPs on Thursday met Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena and requested him to intervene to notify over 350 roads for mixed land use and grant ownership rights to owners in 69 colonies.
They also requested Saxena to provide alternative plots to be handed over to the farmers in exchange for the acquired land, South Delhi MP Ramvir Singh Bidhuri said in a statement.
The delegation included Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MPs Kamaljeet Sehrawat, Yogendra Chandolia, Praveen Khandelwal and Bansuri Swaraj.
In 2007, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) had approved a proposal to use 351 roads as mixed-use and commercial land and sent it to the city government, but the latter has not notified it till date, Bidhuri said.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government also stopped the policy of providing alternative residential plots to farmers whose land was acquired, he said.
Around 16,000 applications are still pending, the BJP leader said, adding that mutation in the names of heirs of deceased farmers has not been done, denying them legal inheritance rights.
The issue of no-objection certificates required by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) for power connections in unauthorised villages and colonies, regularisation of commercial establishments to protect them from sealing and ownership rights of existing residents of Nazul properties located in urban areas were also discussed in the meeting with the LG, Bidhuri said.
The AAP accused the BJP of indulging in theatrics and said that the Master Plan for Delhi (MPD) 2041 has been delayed for over two years which is the root cause of all the issues raised by the saffron party MPs.
“Taking the central government to task for this delay, a Supreme Court bench, in its order dated October 18, 2023, said, “The whole problem in the city is that the public authorities are keeping everything in limbo to grant themselves unreasonable powers,” AAP said in a statement.
