In a bid to take steam out of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s much talked about Swachchh Bharat Abhiyan, AAP on Saturday launched a WhatsApp helpline urging people to send in photos of dirt and filth in their locality, which would then be taken up with BJP-ruled municipal corporations by the party.
“We want to appeal to Delhiites to report complaints of dirt and filth to municipal corporations. If civic bodies don’t register their complaints, people should take photos of dirt and filth and send them to 8588833540 through our WhatsApp helpline with area location,” AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal told reporters here.Kejriwal also said that after receiving such complaints, “we will raise people’s voice before the MCD.”
“After receiving photos of dirt and filth on WhatsApp, we will hand over such complaints to the mayors and pressurise officials to resolve people’s problems,” the AAP chief also said.
The former Delhi Chief Minister said that as BJP was in the municipal corporations and Swachchh Bharat Abhiyan is the vision of PM Narendra Modi, civic bodies will take such complaints seriously. AAP has also decided to take the help of Residents Welfare Associations (RWAs) to make Delhi neat and clean. “We are going to hold a meeting with reps of RWAs on October 12,” he added.
