The BJP has finally woken up, though belatedly, in joining the Aam Aadmi Party’s campaign to monitor the ongoing cleanliness drive in the national capital.
The AAP hopes that with the BJP now joining in, the three Municipal Corporations of Delhi being ruled by it, and the union home ministry controlled New Delhi Municipal Council will take up the cleaning task effectively and more vigorously.
BJP Delhi unit told the media on Thursday that it has sent photographs of unclean toilets in the New Delhi assembly constituency to the AAP.
Please find attached the response by the AAP Delhi convenor Ashutosh to the BJP Delhi state president on the issue. We are also releasing the latest set of photographs showing the ugly reality of different areas of the city, which are suffering due to BJP ruled MCD';s apathy in performing its basic duty.
Once BJP leaders step out of their homes with cameras, they will realize how the three Municipal Corporations of Delhi being ruled by it since last seven years and the union home ministry controlled NDMC have failed in their basic duties so far.
The AAP fully supported the Make India Clean Campaign launched by the Prime Minister on 2nd October and party leaders and volunteers actively participated in it.
The party, had, however, made it clear that this campaign would have to go beyond the token photo opportunities and Delhi in particular, being the national capital is in dire need of such a campaign.
Taking this campaign forward, the AAP launched a Whats App helpline number 8588833540 to encourage the public participation by asking them to send photographs of garbage so that these could be forwarded to the MCD for cleaning it.
The BJP appears to be looking for excuses to hide the failures and incompetence of the MCD and the NDMC in place of welcoming the effort to let these civic bodies know about the places which require urgent cleanliness work.
The BJP has stated that it will provide photographs of garbage in the constituencies represented by the AAP MLAs, clearly conceding thereby that either the MCD’s cleanliness drive has already failed or it has been directed not to clear the garbage in areas represented by the AAP MLAs.
The AAP reminds the BJP that the correct address for sending all such photographs is the MCD and the NDMC, which are responsible for cleanliness in their respective areas.
The BJP has also conveniently forgotten that the NDMC is directly controlled by the union home ministry and only last month four BJP leaders were nominated as its members.
