A Right To Information (RTI) request filed by Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Harish Khurana has revealed that the Aam Admi Party (AAP) government, contrary to its claims, has not added any new night shelters in the national capital. According to the reply Khurana received from the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB), the city had 263 night shelters on 14 February 2015, when the Arvind Kejriwal government was sworn in for the second time. The number remained unchanged as of 31 December 2016.

Harish Khurana, who is the son of former Delhi chief minister Madan Lal Khurana, said, “111 people died because of cold and all were poor people sleeping in cold nights”. He took to Twitter to vent his anger, saying that the entire Delhi government is campaigning outside the state.
