Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday got here down closely on the BJP-ruled central authorities for allegedly deferring MCD elections, claiming that the latter has threatened to transform Delhi right into a union territory and make sure that no elections are held right here. “They (Centre) are using force, hooliganism in not allowing MCD elections. We will have to approach the court to get MCD elections conducted on time and we will do it,” Kejriwal stated within the Delhi Assembly throughout a dialogue on a decision moved by the AAP authorities to conduct the municipal elections in time.
After his speech within the Assembly, Kejriwal informed reporters that in the course of the unification of the three MCDs, the Centre had promised that elections will likely be held after a delimitation fee was shaped. “Over one and half months have passed after the unification of the MCDs, but they have not formed the delimitation commission. They don’t want elections to be conducted. This is against democracy. We will go to court on this if required,” Kejriwal informed reporters.
“It really saddens me to see heaps of garbage lying on Delhi streets and the dumpyards overflowing. Sometimes, I feel that if we had the control of MCD, we could have kept the national capital clean. They had the control of MCD for 15 years, yet they couldn’t do anything. They (BJP) would neither get work done, nor allow anyone else to do it just like they are not even allowing MCD elections to take place. When I brought this up in front of a senior BJP leader, he said, ‘These MCD sweepers are thieves.’ MCD sweepers are not thieves, you all (BJP leaders) are daakus (robbers), goondas (gangsters),” Kejriwal stated.
Referring to jailed Delhi minister Satyendar Jain and alleged threats of getting Deputy CM Manish Sisodia arrested too, Kejriwal dared the BJP to take motion in opposition to him, and stated that the folks of Delhi wouldn’t tolerate it as they deal with him as their “son and brother.” Kejriwal, whereas highlighting the work carried out by his authorities, stated, “Like a good son, I have ensured that the people of Delhi get affordable health care, education and free electricity. BJP is afraid as they know that the people of Delhi will never go against their son.”
