People will overthrow 'most corrupt party' in MCD polls: Raghav Chadha

People will overthrow the "most corrupt" party in the December 4 Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) polls, Aam Aadmi Party leader Raghav Chadha said on Saturday, targeting the BJP. In an interview with PTI, he alleged that the MCD under the BJP's 15-year rule "failed miserably" in its primary responsibility of ensuring cleanliness in the city. "Not even a single lane is cleaned by the MCD in a city where tonnes of waste are generated every day. The BJP has ruined the civic body. People see Kejriwal as a powerhouse who transformed the education and health sectors and he will do the same in the civic body as well," Chadha said. Earlier this month, the AAP released "Kejriwal's 10 guarantees" for the MCD polls which included the promise to clear three landfill sites and address the problem of "garbage mismanagement" in the city.

He said the work done at the Ghazipur landfill site is an example of how a BJP-led MCD can "make a difference". The cricketer-turned-politician said in the last eight years, "we have only heard the Delhi chief minister blame the Centre for everything, but no one asked him what is his responsibility as the chief minister". He should come out and speak, Gambhir added. The people of Delhi can see it for themselves what the Ghazipur landfill
