New Delhi, January 2: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday will visit newly constructed flats for the dwellers of Jhuggi Jhopri (JJ) clusters under the in-situ slum rehabilitation project at Swabhiman Apartments, Ashok Vihar. The prime minister’s schedules in Delhi gave hints of an impending poll date announcement by the Election Commission for Delhi elections.
“In line with his commitment of ‘Housing for All’, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Will inaugurate and lay the foundation stone of multiple development projects in Delhi,” said the PMO in a media statement.
The prime minister is the main campaigner for the BJP in elections. The BJP is hoping to ride on Brand Modi for success in the Delhi Assembly elections. The BJP has not won any Assembly elections in Delhi since 1993.
“Prime Minister will inaugurate the 1,675 newly constructed flats for the dwellers of JJ clusters and also hand over keys to eligible beneficiaries at Swabhiman Apartments in Ashok Vihar, Delhi. The inauguration of newly constructed flats will mark the completion of second successful In-Situ Slum Rehabilitation Project by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA),” added the PMO in the media statement.
The BJP is making a determined bid to poach into the vote base of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the jhuggi clusters. The AAP commands strong base among the jhuggi dwellers.
“The objective of the project is to provide the residents of the JJ clusters in Delhi with a better and healthier living environment equipped with proper amenities and facilities,’ said the PMO in the media statement. It added that “for every Rs 25 lakh spent on construction of a flat by the government, eligible beneficiaries pay less than 7% of the total amount, comprising Rs 1.42 lakh as a nominal contribution and Rs 30,000 for five years of maintenance.”
Prime Minister will also inaugurate two urban redevelopment projects – the World Trade Centre (WTC) at Nauroji Nagar and the General Pool Residential Accommodation (GPRA) Type-II Quarters at Sarojini Nagar. The World Trade Centre at Nauroji Nagar has transformed the area by replacing over 600 dilapidated quarters with state-of-the-art commercial towers, offering around 34 lakh square feet of premium commercial space with advanced amenities. The project incorporates green building practices, with provisions such as a zero-discharge concept, solar energy generation, and rainwater harvesting systems.
“The GPRA Type-II Quarters at Sarojini Nagar includes 28 towers that house over 2,500 residential units, offering modern amenities and efficient use of space. The project’s design incorporates rainwater harvesting systems, sewage and water treatment plants, and solar-powered waste compactors encouraging eco-conscious living,” added the PMO.
Prime Minister will also inaugurate CBSE’s Integrated Office Complex at Dwarka, Delhi built at around Rs 300 crore. “It includes offices, auditorium, advanced data center, comprehensive water management system among others. The ecofriendly building has been constructed to high environmental standards and was designed as per Platinum Rating standards of the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC),” said the PMO.

It also includes building Veer Savarkar College at Roshanpura, Najafgarh, having state-of-the-art facilities for education,” added the PMO.
