Rahul Gandhi's Delhi Slum Visit Sparks Political Debate
The government took down some homes in Delhi.
Rahul Gandhi, a politician, went to visit the people who lost their homes.
He promised to help them by going to court and talking about it in Parliament.
Some people think he is just trying to get votes.
The government says they are giving people new homes, but some people say those homes aren't good.
The demolition was done because the homes were built on land the government needed, following court orders.
Rahul Gandhi visited a Delhi slum area demolished by the DDA in July 2025.
The DDA carried out the demolition drive in Jailer Wala Bagh following Supreme Court orders.
Residents reported homes razed, and Congress alleged a lack of amenities in new housing.
The DDA stated the action was legal, with subsidized permanent homes offered to eligible residents.
Rahul Gandhi promised to raise the issue in court and Parliament, but faced accusations of political posturing.
