A large number of Congress workers along with Delhi Congress president Anil Kumar accompanied party candidates to file their nomination for MCD bye-election.
Congress candidates Bal Kishan (Ward No 2-E, Trilok Puri East (SC)), Dharampal Maurya (Ward No 8-E, Kalyan Puri (SC)), Memwati Barwala (Ward No 32-N, Rohini-C) and Mamta (Ward No 62-N, Shalimar Bagh North (W)), Chauhan Banger Ward No 41-E (Seelampur) and Chaudhary Zubair Ahamad filed their nomination papers on Monday.
Kumar asserted that Congress will sweep all the five MCD seats in the bye-elections, as people have now realized that only Congress can provide development-driven, people-beneficial governance, which was evident from the Congress party’s excellent track record when it was in power in the corporations for five years.
The Congress Vice Chairman Jaikishan said that the MCDs have ruined the clean and green image of Delhi by converting it into a garbage capital.
“The BJP-ruled corporations have set a new example of mismanagement. They are not even able to pay sanitation workers and medical staff, resulting in frequent strikes by employees that have affected the functioning to a great extent,” he said.
