Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva, accompanied by MPs Ramvir Singh Bidhuri and Kamaljeet Sehrawat, expressed gratitude to Delhi Lieutenant-Governor VK Saxena for restarting the process of land property mutation, which had been on hold for the past eight years. The announcement, made on September 17, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday, was described as a “festival of lights” for rural Delhi by Delhi BJP media head Praveen Shankar Kapoor during a joint press conference.

Sachdeva emphasized that the stalled land mutation process had been one of the biggest issues for rural residents. Despite repeated demands from the community, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government had ignored the issue for nearly a decade. “This decision is a gift from the L-G to rural residents. Mutation applications will soon be accepted, providing much-needed relief to farmers,” he said.

“Rs 962 crore, which had been lying unused in Delhi government accounts, is now being used for rural development under the Gram Uday Yojana,” he said.
