Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva on Saturday addressed the protesting civil defence volunteers near the Delhi Secretariat regarding their demands and seeking payment of salaries, lambasted the Arvind Kejriwal Government saying those who serve the people of Delhi have been forced by Arvind Kejriwal to sit on strike today.
Delhi BJP leaders Praveen Shankar Kapoor, Vikram Mittal, Sumit Seth and Rajiv Kohli were with the State president. “Kejriwal, who talks about democratic rights, has not even paid salaries to the civil defense marshals for the last five months and today all 8,000 marshals are sitting on strike demanding their rights, then Arvind Kejriwal and his ministers are trying give their agitation political color,” he said. Sachdeva said that if the Kejriwal government had the right intentions and had started the process of regularisation then these civil defense marshals would not have been forced to sit on strike today around Diwali.
Delhi BJP president said the Delhi Government has no shortage of Budget but everyone knows where that Budget is being spent. Sachdeva said that if Kejriwal Government does not pay five months’ salary before Diwali, then the families of 8000 Civil Defense Marshals will take to the streets against the Government.
