Delhi Demolitions Spark Political Clash Between AAP and BJP
The government took down some homes in Delhi because a court told them to.
The people who lived there say they didn't get enough warning.
One group of politicians says the government didn't help the people, but the government says they are wrong and have provided housing.
Some people are upset because they believe the government is being unfair.

The demolition followed a Delhi High Court order due to illegal encroachments.
