New Delhi:
Delhi Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal is speaking on the strike called by sanitation workers' in Delhi.
Here are the highlights:
- Misconception that we did not pay salaries
- All Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) schools, hospitals are closed and garbage is all over the city
- The Public Works Department (PWD) helped us clean the garbage to some extent. I thank them all.
- Our ministers, workers and all departments are trying to clean the garbage
- An environment is being created as if the Delhi government is not paying the money to the MCD
- The Delhi government does not have any outstanding dues of the MCD
- In 2012-13, the NDMC got Rs 526 crores, it got Rs 556 crores the next year, and Rs 545 crores the year after that.
- This year they got 893 crores.
- An additional 100 crores were given by the government to the NDMC. Where has the money gone?
- The EDMC loan recovery of Rs 76 crores by the Centre, we didn't make any recovery.
- This is a big scam. Where is the money going?
- This should be investigated
- Section 486 of the Delhi Municipal Act gives power to the Delhi government to check accounts
- They did not let us do it.Why are they scared?
- Centre can get a Central Bureau of Investigation probe done. We are not scared.
- Why are you scared of a probe?
- These are the times of Right To Information, anyone can ask for accounts
