Salaries of EDMC workers unpaid, the BJP failed Delhi, says Sisodia
Deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia campaigned for Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)’S municipal election candidates in the Capital’s trans-yamuna region on Monday and said the civic body that governed the area (the erstwhile East Delhi Municipal Corporation) had failed the people by turning Delhi into a dumpyard and not paying sanitation workers.
“The Bharatiya Janata Party (Bjp)-led Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) did not clean Delhi’s garbage and turned the city into a dumpyard. Not only this, the BJP did not
pay the salaries of sanitation workers for months. Even retired workers have not received their previous salaries. But, as soon as the Kejriwal government comes to power in the
MCD, all salary issues of sanitation workers will be resolved. They will receive their salaries on time and all contractual workers will be made permanent,” Sisodia said.
With less than a week left for the municipal election scheduled to be held on December 4, Sisodia, who is addressing several public meetings every day in support of party candidates, visited Harsh Vihar, Saboli, Gokulpuri, Ashok Nagar, Ram Nagar East, Welcome Colony, Shahdara, Jhilmil and Dilshad Colony and interacted with residents there on Monday.
The BJP has controlled the municipal corporations in the Capital over the last 15 years and the AAP is banking on anti-incumbency to wrest control of the MCD. Apart from star campaigners holding roadshows, party workers are campaigning door-to-door.
