NEW DELHI: An afternoon after the Centre allowed the CBI to prosecute him, Delhi Urban Development minister Satyendar Jain on Friday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi wanted to raze down unauthorized colonies and render folks homeless.
"Being the Urban Development minister of Delhi, I am under oath to get the unauthorized colonies authorized. It's my duty to provide the residents with basic facilities... It is the democratic right of the people staying in these colonies," Jain mentioned in a observation.
The Union Home Ministry on Thursday granted sanction to prosecute Jain for having assets disproportionate to his recognized resources of income.
Calling it a vindictive motion of the Modi government, Jain mentioned he used to be amazed by way of the fees made against him.
"I am amazed at the charges made by the Centre; they are saying Satyendar Jain will become richer by regularizing these colonies. This is laughable and beyond comprehension. How will I become richer by regularizing the unauthorized colonies? Regularization of the unauthorized colonies will not benefit Satyendar Jain but will benefit the huge number of people residing in these colonies," he mentioned.
Jain, who holds seven portfolios including those of Health, Home and Public Works Department, mentioned the Modi government can document as many circumstances because it wanted against him but "I won't be cowed down and I will keep working in the same manner".
"The people of Delhi have elected me. I will continue working for them with full integrity till my last breath and no amount of witch hunt will deter my resolve," he mentioned.
Meanwhile, the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) East Delhi Lok Sabha in-charge Atishi mentioned that the Centre's transfer against Jain confirmed that the Modi government used to be utterly against regularizing unauthorized colonies.
"The Prime Minister spends half the time abroad and talks about turning India into Singapore. But he doesn't want to do that by developing these unauthorized colonies. Instead, he wants to destroy them," Atishi instructed the media right here.
She additional mentioned the Delhi government's Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corp (DSIIDC) had already spent Rs 575 crore on 164 projects in unauthorised colonies.
"Sevety projects worth Rs 303 crore are underway and 40 more projects at an estimated cost of Rs 131 crore are in tendering stage," she mentioned.
