Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) alleged that the BJP has spent Rs 5 crore per month in the name of decreasing the height of Bhalswa landfill but not a single inch of the landfill has decreased.
Senior Aam Aadmi Party leader and MCD-in charge Durgesh Pathak on Thursday said that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ruled MCDs are using Rs 5 crore per month but has done nothing to reduce the height of the garbage mountain but the North mayor lied to the people last month by saying that they have decreased the height of Bhalswa landfill by 12 ft.
"The municipal corporations have destroyed the beauty of the city. If you enter the city from either Uttar Pradesh or Haryana or Rajasthan the first thing you will witness is the Garbage Mountains or the landfills which are proof of failures of the Corporations,” he said.
"In the 2017 manifesto of BJP, it claimed that after coming to the power of the municipal corporations of Delhi they will immediately remove the landfills but it failed to fulfill promises,” he said.
Pathak said, "Without doing any work just for one landfill the BJP is spending Rs.5 crore every month and the whole money is going into their corruption. The people of Delhi are really fed up with such corruption and will respond in the upcoming municipal elections by voting them out”.
Senior AAP leader and former MLA from Laxmi Nagar Nitin Tyagi said, "The people of Delhi who stay near these garbage mountains are suffering from various health issues. “If the BJP does not know what to do then they should immediately leave the municipal corporations of Delhi and the Delhi government will run the MCD,” he said.
Leader of the opposition of AAP in the North MCD Vikas Goel said, "The BJP has no right to stay in the power of the municipal corporations of Delhi after repeated failures to reduce garbage mountain.
