TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Ahead of the December 4 municipal polls, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday claimed the BJP has deployed 17 Union ministers to fight an ‘aam aadmi’ like him and said this was done to cover up the party’s “inefficiency” during its tenure in the civic body. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) polls are being seen as a high stakes contest with the Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Congress eyeing to wrest it from the BJP which ruled it for 15 years.
The AAP will get rid of corruption from the MCD in just three to four months, if voted to power and “mark my words, you will not need to pay an extra penny to get your work done in the MCD”, asserted Kejriwal, who led a roadshow from Malka Ganj Chowk near Kamla Nagar to Ghanta Ghar Chowk. People gathered in large numbers and the stretch was dotted with blue, yellow and white as they danced and sang to the beats of drums while waving AAP flags.
Kejriwal assured that all MCD employees will get their salary in the first week of every month. It does not “matter how I do it, but I will arrange funds and make it possible”, he said. Salaries will be given to all employees on time and along with this, all contract workers will be regularised, the AAP national convener said.
