Kejriwal’s exposure of open loot in MCD has rattled BJP, says AAP

- OUR CORRESPOND­ENT

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday took a dig at the Delhi BJP’S decision to cut tickets of all sitting Councillor­s and to launch 272 fresh candidatur­es in all the 272 municipal wards, owing to anti-incumbency.

A couple days ago, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal released a video in which he highlighte­d the “open loot” by BJP ruled Municipali­ties and accused individual BJP Councillor­s of amassing wealth.

“The BJP is rattled by the message of Arvind Kejriwal to the people of Delhi in which he highlighte­d the open loot by the Bjp-ruled MCD and the amassing of wealth by individual BJP Councillor­s,” said Delhi incharge of AAP, Ashish Talwar.

Talwar further said: “Time and again, Delhi AAP Convenor Dilip Pandey has exposed the corruption in the Municipal Corporatio­n of Delhi, be it Garbage Collection Scam, Pension Scam, Ghost Employees Scam etc. How many cases have been filed on these scams by either Central government controlled ACB or Delhi Police?”

In all elections against the AAP in Delhi so far, the BJP High Command has pinned the responsibi­lity of its loss on one particular leader. In 2013, it was current Union Minister Dr Harshvardh­an and in 201415 it was current Puducherry governor Kiran Bedi.

MP Manoj Tiwari is now the face of the BJP in Delhi. However, Tiwari has made smart moves so far, as he is looking for 272 new faces in the Municipal polls.
