A senior leader of the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee, Chattar Singh said that the Congress-led UPA Government had included scores of industries in the 2021 Master Plan of Delhi which could be run from residential areas, as these industries were not causing any pollution, but the AAP government and the BJP-led MCDs were bent on destroying them.
Addressing the party activists at a dharna, Chattar Singh said whenever the BJP came to power, small scale industries were closed down by framing wrong policies. As a result, not only small traders came to the verge of starvation, but large-scale unemployment was also caused.
He said the AAP party was acting as the B team of the BJP by carrying out anti-people policies, though the people, trusting the hollow promises of the Aam Aadmi Party, had elected it to power with absolute majority.
He said demonetization had put small industrialists, shopkeepers and the common people into tremendous difficulty, and it was followed by the deadly blow inflicted by the faulty implementation of GST.
The people are yet to recover from the twin blows of demonetization and GST, and now the AAP government and the BJP-ruled MCDs were sealing small scale industrial units,, Chattar Singh said.
Former MLA from the Trinagar Assembly constituency, Anil Bhardwaj who also addressed the party activists said whenever the Congress was in power at the Centre and in Delhi, small scale industries were encouraged to set up units.
