While a large number of Municipal Councillors are crying themselves hoarse over the sealing and demolition issue, Councillor and member of the Board of Enquiry constituted to consider the suggestions and objections to the Master Plan for Delhi-2021, Virender Kasana, has said that not one Councillor, MLA or MP from Delhi had bothered to attend a special meeting of the Board called to gather their suggestions. "The Councillors used to ask me to make some changes to the draft Master Plan, but no one seriously made any suggestion which would have made a difference to the situation today,'' Mr Kasana said. The Councillor also held that it was the previous National Democratic Alliance regime that was to blame for the mess Delhi finds itself in now. "The Master Plan-2021 is already five years late and we know that work on it started in right earnest after 2004, when the United Progressive Alliance Government came to power.''
