Accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for having failed in running Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCDs), the Aam Aaadmi Party (AAP) on Thursday demanded to conduct fresh elections in the three MCDs.
Saurabh Bhardwaj, the spokesperson of AAP said that during the 2017 MCD election campaign then Delhi BJP President Manoj Tiwari promised that there will be no scarcity of money in MCD because the BJP will directly bring funds from the central government.
He said that Tiwari misled the people of Delhi by making false promises and did not bring a single penny from the centre, he should resign from the post of the MP.
Bhardwaj said that the BJP got exposed and their lies along with their corruption also got exposed in MCD but they
have no sense of accountability at all.
He said that despite getting the full amount from the Arvind Kejriwal government, increasing the house tax and many other taxes also the BJP ruled MCD claims that they do not have any money to pay the salaries of the employees.
Bhardwaj said that the employees of the BJP ruled MCD are protesting at the Civic Centre demanding the immediate release of their pending salaries.
“The employees MCD have not received their salary for the last several months. They are continuously demanding that the BJP and the officials of the MCD should immediately release these pending salaries. The doctors, nurses, medical officials, teachers, sanitation workers and others who have worked in the time of COVID-19 pandemic relentlessly but have not received their salaries. The situation has become the same as it was five years back,” said Bhardwaj.
“The AAP demands that the BJP should immediately dissolve the MCD and leave. The AAP also demands that the BJP should hold a new election for the MCD. There are thousands of corruption charges against the BJP ruled MCD but the BJP does not even bother to answer any of the allegations. The AAP demands and believes that the BJP should dissolve the MCD so that the citizens of Delhi get a chance to elect good people to govern the MCD,” said Bhardwaj.
