Update: 2014-10-08 23:48 GMT
The AAP submitted around 2,500 photographs of ‘dirty’ places in Delhi, received on its WhatsApp helpline number 8588833 540. The photographs showed the garbage lying at different places across the national capital. The leaders asked the mayors to get the garbage cleaned at the earliest. 

People from across the city have sent these photographs on AAP’s helpline. The party has now also started posting these photographs on its website.

AAP leaders told the three mayors of the BJP-led corporations that their party supported Prime Minister’s Clean India Campaign. It further said its volunteers and leaders actively took part in the cleanliness drive.

‘The AAP is of the clear view that the public participation in the cleanliness drive is important for encouragement and awareness, but the final responsibility of the day to day work for keeping Delhi clean is of the MCD’, said Manish Sisodia to the mayors.

The party in a press statement also said that the BJP has been running the civic bodies for the past seven year but the city is hardly clean. ‘The BJP has been running the MCD since last seven years and the state of cleanliness is there for all to see. But the AAP is of the view that let’s not squabble over the past and in keeping with the Prime Minister’s call, let there be a policy of zero tolerance against unclean Delhi,’ said AAP in a press statement.

AAP will continue to monitor the work of garbage cleaning across the city and will encourage people to send photographs to show the current state of cleanliness in the city.

The party will keep sending these photographs to the three mayors of the civic corporations, said the party statement.
