3 Oct 2014 5:46 AM IST
Criticising the corporation for doing the cleaning for photos, Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee chief spokesperson Mukesh Sharma on Thursday said there were several parts in the city where the cleanliness drive had not been launched. ‘BJP-ruled MCD has not been cleaning the city for several years. Why have they now woken up now? They are doing cleaning for just getting publicity and photos,’ Sharma said.
‘There are so many areas in the national capital where people have to face a problem of dirt everyday. In several parts of west Delhi, this drive was not launched,’ he said. Sharma also hit out at the corporation for ‘allowing’ hoardings on public property in violation of the law. ‘There are several hoardings placed on electricity poles and other public properties without permission from MCD, which is clear violation of law. But civic bodies are doing nothing in this regard,’ Sharma added.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for a nation-wide cleanliness drive which was kicked-off on 2 October on the occassion of birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. The BJP-led civic bodies in the city had also organised special cleanliness drives on PM’s call.
