BJP had 15 yrs to clean city, time for a change now: CM
Hindustan Times|December 01, 2022
NEW DELHI: Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday urged voters to elect the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to the municipal corporation in the upcoming December 4 elections, claiming that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has done nothing to clean the Capital during its 15-year tenure in the civic body.
BJP had 15 yrs to clean city, time for a change now: CM

The BJP has been in power in the MCD for the last 15 years and is eying a fourth successive term in the civic body, while the AAP, which has ruled Delhi since 2015, is seeking to wrest the corporation's control from the BJP. The electioneering for the polls will come to an end on the evening of December 2.

Speaking during an election campaign in north Delhi's Malka Ganj area, Kejriwal said his government not clean the city because sanitation services do not come under the state.

"It pains my heart to see Delhi engulfed by garbage.

Despite being the CM, I have no power to clean garbage because the MCD is under the BJP. Delhi residents gave us the responsibility of schools, hospitals, electricity, water. We fixed everything and provided free healthcare and electricity to everyone.

The people gave the BJP one job -- they had to look after the garbage but even after 15 years, they could not clean Delhi," the CM said.
