Kejriwal, who arrived at the Ghazipur landfill site, accused the BJP of spreading garbage everywhere in Delhi in the last 15 years. “The BJP sitting in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi for the last 15, has spread garbage everywhere in Delhi, today I have come to see their Ghazipur garbage mountain,” he tweeted.
He also challenged the “top leaders” of the BJP to show one development work by them. “Why are you so ashamed to show your mountains of garbage? Delhi government is not ashamed to show its schools and hospitals,” Kejriwal said at the Ghazipur site.
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) polls are expected to be held at the end of 2022 or early next year. However, there has been no formal announcement regarding the dates.
In 2017, the BJP swept the civic body polls, bagging 181 wards in the erstwhile south, north and east Delhi municipal corporations. The Centre unified the three municipal corporations this year into the Municipal Corporation of Delhi.
