BJP MLA runs illegal ‘PG mafia’, alleges AAP; party refutes charges
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has accused a BJP MLA of operating an illegal paying guest 'mafia' in Satya Niketan, following a fatal building collapse. The BJP has denied these allegations, shifting blame to previous administrations for poor infrastructure regulation.
Why it matters
The dispute highlights the ongoing political friction in Delhi regarding urban safety, illegal construction, and accountability for infrastructure failures.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday alleged that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from RK Puram Anil Sharma runs an illegal paying guest (PG) “mafia” in the Satya Niketan area, days after a building collapse there claimed seven lives.
The party demanded that any demolition drive against illegal PGs should begin with Mr. Sharma’s property. The allegation came as AAP and the BJP traded blame over illegal constructions in the national capital.
