Mera Ghar Mera Haq: Mirzapur MP Anupriya Patel raises issue of builders cheating allottees in Parliament

New Delhi: Apna Dal leader and Mirzapur MP Anupriya Patel on Monday raised the issue related to builders, dominating the buyers and seldom delivering projects on time, in the Parliament. "There are complaints against real estate builders and developers, like Antariksh group, Amrapali group and Jaypee group etc, in the Delhi-NCR for not fulfilling their commitments and promises to handover the houses timely to the buyers," Patel said. She stressed that this is not a new phenomena and people in Delhi-NCR have been facing these issues for past three years. "Ordinary citizens from middle income group are investing their lifetime savings and future earnings in a dream to get roof above their head but they feel cheated, left helpless and disappointed," she said. Patel also raised questions on celebrities featuring in builders' advertisement and endorsing the brand. "What further complicates the facts that we have celebrity endorsements," she said. "In our country people not only love and admire celebrities but worship and perceive them as gods and role models. So, when a celebrity endorses a product or a brand, people’s faith get strengthen in that brand. Though, celebrities may not have an intent to harm anyone but because of their brand promotion they tend to -intentionally or unintentionally- dictate consumer choices," she added. She further said that celebrities must be regulated so that they should not become a part of the public harassment process.
