Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will take out padyatra in all wards of Delhi protesting the move of a BJP Councillor for allegedly giving municipal land to her own husband.
AAP senior leader and MCD in-charge Durgesh Pathak said that the BJP is giving land to its own leaders for free using NGOs as a front. “All three Leader of Opposition and AAP councillors will raise awareness about BJP's corruption throughout Delhi. Party councillors had raised the matter during a North MCD house meeting. AAP will keep protesting against the BJP until action is taken against the accused,” he said. Pathak issued a statement on Saturday, saying that MCD councillor Manju Khandelwal gave the land of Ashok Nagar, which is worth 50 crores, for free to her husband Rajendra Khandelwal. “We protested numerous times and demanded that MCD return the land. However, instead of taking any action against such corrupt behaviour, the councillor stated flatly that there is no harm in doing so since the land was given in the name of an NGO,” he added.
