The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday has demanded a time-bound schedule for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) elections from the BJP-ruled Central Government.
The AAP Delhi Convenor and Cabinet Minister Gopal Rai said that the delimitation should be conducted and election date should be announced with the same urgency and desperation with which the MCD election was canceled half an hour before Election Commission's press conference.
"The Central Government went into sleep mode after arbitrarily imposing decision unification of erstwhile three divisions of municipal corporations due to which sanitation system in Delhi has completely collapsed," said Rai.
"BJP has left the people of Delhi on their own. They don't even know who to approach with complaints about the cleanliness of their area. The people of Delhi are eagerly waiting for MCD elections. They have made it clear by electing an AAP MLA in Rajinder Nagar by-election that they do not want BJP in MCD at all," said Rai.
"We demand from BJP and especially Union Home Minister to conduct a time-bound delimitation and announce election schedule in MCD at earliest," said Rai adding that MHA should act immediately.
