Amid a growing buzz over parliamentary elections in the national capital, the Delhi BJP is believed to be working on a strategy to take the message of the recent protection against demolitions offered by the Narendra Modi government to the residents of 1,700 unauthorised colonies. The moving force behind the step appears to be Northeast parliamentary seat MP Manoj Tiwari, whose constituency is home to a bulk of these colonies, source said.

Sources said though “Modi ki guarantee” and the development model of the Modi government are going to be the party’s main plank in the parliamentary election on the city’s seven seats, the party is looking to apprise the voters in these unauthorised colonies—mostly migrants from Poorvanchal and Uttarakhand—about the BJP’s concern for them.
