Congress vows RO systems, tax waivers
The Congress on Wednesday released its manifesto for the upcoming municipal elections scheduled for December 4, promising RO water purifiers for the poor, day-boarding facilities at municipal schools, and the waiver of house tax dues.
Unveiling the manifesto, Congress leader Supriya Shrinate alleged the water supplied by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) was contaminated and “unfit” for regular use. “The water provided by the MCD has never been fit for regular use, forget consumption. It is extremely contaminated. Delhi Congress promises ‘Saaf Paani Wali Dilli, Sheila Dikshit Wali Dilli’,” Shrinate said.
The Congress also promised a pollution- and garbage-free national capital by clearing landfill sites and providing better parking facilities.
Shrinate added, “Day-boarding facilities will be started in municipal schools. This will not only empower the poor but also end child labour.”
