There has been a lot of controversy between the BJP and the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Delhi over the bill to merge three municipal corporations in Delhi. The Aam Aadmi Party says that the BJP has merged the three corporations fearing defeat in the elections. After the passage of the amended law, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal had said that for 15 years BJP is occupied in MCD and is taking money. Do you have the constitutional right to take such a big decision i.e. bulldozer action? Let elections happen and let the winning party decide.
On the other hand, BJP alleges that Kejriwal’s government has been treating MCD step-motherly. For this reason the merger became necessary. In fact, before the merger, the employees of MCD had continuously protested against the Kejriwal government. The employees had alleged that the Kejriwal government was not paying their salaries for several months. At the same time, BJP said that money is being given continuously to the Kejriwal government to pay the salaries of MCD employees, but it is not taking it to the employees. Now after the formation of an MCD, the employees are expected to get relief. Let us inform that the MCD was divided into three parts when Sheila Dikshit was the CM of Delhi.
