Mumbai slum dwellers, tenants to get own homes post Cong win: Rahul

Mumbai: Congress president Rahul Gandhi Sunday said slum dwellers and tenants in Mumbai will get homes of their own if his party comes to power after the April-May Lok Sabha polls. All six seats of Mumbai will go to polls on Monday.

In a tweet in Marathi, Gandhi said that he had backed the proposal of his party colleagues that slum dwellers and tenants be given houses with a minimum area of 500 square feet. "I assure Mumbaikars that if the Congress is voted to power, slum dwellers and tenants will get homes of their own," Gandhi's tweet stated.
