The sight of rotting garbage deliberately scattered on roads in Delhi, is being seen as a direct fallout of politics between the state's ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the BJP, which controls the civic body.
A group of AAP volunteers and a legislator were seen on Monday using brooms to sweep a road in east Delhi where a huge pile of trash has caused traffic jams.
But the vigorous sweeping in a tiny area, covered by TV cameras, was criticised by civic workers, who have been on a strike since Friday.
Civic workers allege that they have not been paid for three months and to draw the attention of the authorities, they have dumped garbage on streets across the city.

They say they approached the new AAP government, but were reportedly told to go to the Centre's ruling BJP.
