The AAP is set to launch a month-long campaign on Wednesday to highlight the “failure” of the BJP-controlled civic body in the capital, starting with organizing public trips to the three infamous garbage mounds. located on the city limits. Announcing the party’s decision at a press conference, Delhi Environment Minister and AAP city unit convener Gopal Rai said on Tuesday that the party leaders will take people to three dumping grounds – Ghazipur, Okhla and Bhalswa in the first phase of the campaign. — to show them the “biggest success” of the BJP, which has ruled the civic body in the capital for 15 years.
Trips to the three “garbage mountains” will be organized on three days starting Wednesday on the theme “BJP ka chamatkar dekho, kude ka pahad dekho” (see the miracle of BJP, see the garbage mountains), the AAP leader said. He said if dumping of garbage is stopped now, it will take at least 27 years to clean up the landfills “BJP style” at the current pace and schedule. “The people of Delhi have given the BJP an opportunity to rule the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) for 15 years, but the party has completely failed in its first and foremost responsibility of keeping it clean. It has only given them garbage and filth. It has spread all over the city,” he alleged. Rai.
He claimed that Delhi’s cleanliness has gone from “bad to worse” since the municipal elections were postponed in the guise of the merger of the three former civic bodies, even as the “BJP top leadership took charge promising to bring about a miraculous change” in the MCD’s year of operation. According to Rai, party leader Atishi will take the public to the Ghazipur landfill on September 14, while Saurabh Bharadwaj will lead a visit to Okhla on September 15. On September 16, people will be taken to the Bhalswa dumping ground under the leadership of Durgesh Pathak “to see the situation there and understand the problems of the people living in the area”. “People are fed up because they don’t know where to register their grievances. So the party has decided to organize a campaign in phases. We will not allow Delhi to remain in this situation,” Rai told .”Either rubbish or the BJP will leave Delhi,” he said.
Unified after the merger of three erstwhile civic bodies a few months ago, the MCD comes under the jurisdiction of the BJP-led central government. The BJP ruled the three former municipal corporations and the AAP was the main opposition party until the terms of the civic bodies expired in May. Elections to the new civic body are still taking place, as the exercise of delimiting city districts is underway.The delimitation committee office set up by the Center said on Tuesday that the work on the MCD ward delimitation proposal is complete and asked people to send their suggestions and objections.
