Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and former Delhi Minister, Atishi, on Tuesday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of breaking its election pledges, alleging that the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) plans to demolish huts in the Bhoomiheen Camp area of Kalkaji tomorrow (June 11) without providing flats to all eligible residents.

Speaking at a press conference shortly after being detained and released by Delhi Police during anti-demolition protests, Atishi claimed that the DDA and police forcibly evicted residents on Tuesday, despite earlier assurances from Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta that no jhuggi (slum dwelling) would be demolished, as reported by ANI.

"Just two days ago, the Chief Minister said no jhuggi is being or will ever be demolished in Delhi. That lie has now been exposed," Atishi stated.
