The Aam Aadmi Party said it will observe 'dhoka diwas' on Saturday to tell people living in unauthorised colonies that the BJP is "cheating" them by making "false" promises to regularise them. The move came a day after Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari said the party will ensure regularisation of all the unauthorised colonies in the city within six months.

We will tell people the reality so that next day they can ask the questions to (Manoj) Tiwari," said AAP spokesperson Saurabh Bhardwaj.
