Delhi Demolition: Congress Slams BJP-AAP, Rahul Gandhi Intervenes
The Congress party launched a scathing attack on both the BJP and AAP governments in Delhi following the demolition of over 3,000 homes in a JJ cluster. The party alleges that more than 15,000 families were rendered homeless without prior notice.
Congress leader Devender Yadav led the protests, demanding immediate in-situ rehabilitation for the affected families. He specifically criticized the AAP government’s handling of the situation.
The demolition drive, carried out on August 4, 2025, sparked widespread outrage. Rahul Gandhi’s intervention reportedly led to a temporary halt in the demolitions.
However, the long-term solution remains elusive. The incident highlights the urgent need for comprehensive and humane resettlement policies for vulnerable communities in urban India. The lack of proper notice and rehabilitation plans raises serious questions about governance and the welfare of the urban poor.
