Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday slammed the BJP ruled Central Government, saying it would have “immediately waived loans” of “a few rich people” but not giving money for poor municipal sanitation workers who were on strike for the last three weeks.
The BJP accused the Kejriwal of “lying” over the funds given by the Centre to the EDMC. The Delhi CM claimed the Municipal Corporations have to be paid Rs 5000 crore by the Centre.
“Last week Delhi Government on the advice of Supreme Court paid Rs 500 crore to the MCD. The Centre today denied to pay Rs 500 crore, despite advice of the Supreme Court, although it has to pay Rs 5000 crore to the MCD. Is BJP responsible to Delhi like this? Then why should Delhiites vote for you (BJP) in LS election,” Kejriwal tweeted.
“It is so sad. If it were loans of a few rich people they (Centre) would have done it immediately but not paying money for sanitation in Delhi and poor sanitation workers,” he said in another tweet.
Senior AAP leaders Dilip Pandey and Atishi Marlena also attacked Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari, saying his mathematics was “weak” and he should apologise for saying that Delhi Government was paid Rs 48,000 crore by the Centre.
