Garbage politics takes centre stage as both the Aam Aadmi Party and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) get ready for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) polls next month.
Garbage politics takes centre stage as both the Aam Aadmi Party and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) get ready for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) polls next month.
While AAP targets the BJP-led MCD for garbage, and heaps of garbage mountains around the national capital, the saffron party hits back by saying that AAP is shaming and insulting MCD sanitation workers.
Speaking to The New Indian, BJP Delhi chief Adesh Gupta said, “AAP and Delhi CM (Arvind) Kejriwal are not doing any work but insulting, blaming and shaming MCD sanitation workers who sacrificed their family time, leaving behind kids, and come on duty and collect 11,000 metric tonnes of garbage from our houses.”
“AAP is not attacking the BJP by saying this but attacking sanitation workers and marshals and mocking the duty that they are doing for us. Sanitation workers will take revenge for this (not doing work). From where do 11,000 metric tonnes of garbage get picked up?” Gupta added.
On Monday, BJP leader and Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri launched vehicles for campaigning in the MCD elections. The BJP has been in power in Delhi’s three civic bodies (now unified) for 15 years. They are now seeking another term and looked confident, as the party feels that they have the trust of the people of Delhi.
The BJP says it will go to people showcasing their 15 years of achievements at MCD. “We are getting good responses and support from the people of Delhi. We have never shown our back to them. Be it COVID or other problems, we were always there for people.”
“We are always there to hold the hands of Delhi. And Delhi always joins hands with us,” Gupta said, reiterating the BJP’s MCD election campaign slogan Sewa hi vichar, nahi khokhale prachar MCD mein fir aayegi BJP sarkar (Service is only thought. No empty promises. Once again, it will be a BJP government in MCD).
The Delhi civic body elections will be held on December 4. The results will be declared on December 7.
This is the first time MCD elections will be held after the merger of the South Delhi Municipal Corporation, North Delhi Municipal Corporation and East Delhi Municipal Corporation into a unified MCD. After delimitation, the total number of wards in the capital has been reduced from 272 to 250.
