But due to poverty, they are not able to buy houses in the existing colonies. This is the reason why many slum colonies came up in Delhi. Most of the people from Purvanchal live in these colonies, where the situation was very bad before our government.

Development done in Delhi's slum colonies

There are many slum colonies in Delhi, where people from Purvanchal society also live. There was no drainage, no drinking water, no hospital, no school, no development in these slum colonies of Delhi. Kejriwal said that when I became the CM, the officers said in the meeting that development cannot happen here. After removing all those obstacles, development started for the first time in 2015. We started roads, lights, mohalla clinics, sewer, and water pipelines. Drinking water was provided to about 1650 colonies. Roads were built in all the slums.

AAP has done good works for Purvanchal

AAP has done excellent work in this direction." On the question of leaving BJP, he said that he had hoped that his old party would take steps for social justice and development of Purvanchal, but this did not happen. He said, "Better late than never. I thank the Kejriwal government, which did better work for the people of Purvanchal."
