New Delhi [India], June 20 (ANI): Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Friday said that former minister Manish Sisodia will have to face the consequences of his actions, following a summons issued to him by the Anti-Corruption Bureau.
Speaking to reporters, Rekha Gupta said, 'Soon all of them will have to appear in court. Arvind Kejriwal will also have to come here from Punjab. Delhi does not need such fugitive leaders. He will have to pay for the misdeeds he has done.'
CM Gupta also said that her government is working on a planned redevelopment of the city and aims to relocate slum dwellers in an orderly way.
She also said the government is studying Mumbai's Dharavi model to help improve living conditions in Delhi.
'These people (AAP) just wanted political gains and never thought about running the city... How will it work if we give houses, and still people don't vacate the slums?... Delhi needs a revival. For this, we are also studying the Dharavi model of Mumbai... Delhi's redevelopment will be done in a planned manner... We will not let anything happen to the slum dwellers of Delhi who have been permanent residents here for years... The 50,000 flats built by the last government remained vacant even though slum dwellers had deposited money with the government for years... We do not intend to demolish anyone's houses but to get them to settle down orderly,' Gupta said.
Delhi Chief Minister also inaugurated the construction work of Kasturba Polytechnic in Pitampura.
Earlier in the day, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi made Yoga Day recognised on the world stage in such a way that every country in the world is adopting Yoga with great affection.

Omar Abdullah deliberately politicising water sharing with Punjab: AAP
Chandigarh: The Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab on Friday questioned Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's remarks that 'we will not give water from the Indus River to Punjab' and accused him of deliberately politicising the issue. AAP spokesperson Neel Garg said the authority to decide on river waters lies with the Central government, and Omar Abdullah cannot take a unilateral decision on this matter. He emphasised that Punjab needs water and, therefore, Punjab should also get a share of the Indus River water, adding that during the war with Pakistan, the Indian government had decided to annul the Indus Water Treaty. 'Now, it is the Indian government's responsibility to appropriately distribute the remaining water and give Punjab its rightful share,' he said. Garg pointed out that like Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab is also a border state. 'Whenever war occurs, Punjab becomes the battleground. And when the country needs food grains, it becomes the granary of the nation. Now that there is water available, Punjab has a legitimate claim over it.' He highlighted that Punjab needs water today, as most of its regions have entered the dark zone. 'In the process of filling the nation's granaries, we have been deprived of our own water. Now that the Indus Water Treaty has been annulled, Punjab has the primary right over this water because it will not only bring relief to our barren lands but also boost our agriculture. When farmers prosper, the nation prospers,' he said. Garg added that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann also stated, after the annulment of the Indus Treaty, that Punjab should receive a share of the water that is being prevented from flowing to Pakistan. 'Therefore, the government of India must consider this matter,' he said. The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) also expressed surprise at Omar Abdullah's statement. In a statement, former Minister and senior SAD leader Daljit Singh Cheema said what Omar Abdullah was demanding was another attempt to do injustice to Punjab. He said that while filling the food bowl of the country, Punjab had lost its groundwater, which had fallen to alarming levels. He said the quantity of water in rivers had also gone down substantially, adding that the farmers of Punjab had taken huge debt on their shoulders to fulfil the food requirement of the country. Earlier, speaking on constructing a canal by the government of India to divert excess water from three rivers of the Indus system in Jammu and Kashmir to Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan, Chief Minister Abdullah cited the 45-year-old Shahpur Kandi barrage dispute with Punjab and asked, 'Did they give us water?'
