NEW DELHI, 4 March, 2021 (TON): As the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) won four out of five municipal seats in Delhi’s civic bodies by-polls, the party slammed the MCD ruling BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) saying the Delhi is fed up of its corruption in civic agencies.
It said BJP failed to secure a single seat in the by-polls so the people of Delhi are agitated with the party.
Addressing the party workers after the results, Pathak said, "AAP's biggest victory of this by-election is that the BJP that has been in power in all the three civic bodies for the last 15 years got zero seats. I would like to first extend my gratitude to every AAP worker, who worked hard and delivered a better result. I would also thank all senior party leaders because of whom we could achieve such massive support from the people in the city."
He alleged that the BJP instead destroyed municipal corporations of Delhi. "Even as the financial conditions of civic bodies have deteriorated, the income of the BJP councilors and the party has increased. MCD's primary work was to ensure a clean city, but there is not one street in Delhi that can be said to be clean," Pathak added.
"MCD employees have been protesting for the last several months for their dues. Whenever we questioned the BJP ruled MCD over non-payment of salaries they say that they do not have money. Yet, they have the money to put up hoardings worth Rs 13,000 crore. This behavior by the party generated feelings of animosity among the people of Delhi," Pathak added.
AAP leader Durgesh Pathak, who was in-charge of MCD by-polls stressed that the people of the city have shown that the BJP has lost its ground in Delhi and they do not trust the BJP leaders anymore as they supported the AAP.
