Sisodia in a press conference slammed the BJP government and asked them not to cry like Congress and said that there will be a big achievement for BJP if they even win 10 seats. If you have the courage then don’t run away, fight (contest MCD elections) with us, Sisodia added.

Sisodia came down heavily on BJP after Union Minister Smriti Irani accused AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal of depriving the MCD employees of Rs 13,000 crores. Kejriwal had earlier in the day conducted a press conference in which he expressed outrage over the postponement of municipal corporation elections in the national capital, claiming that doing so weakens the democratic system.

Kejriwal in a statement said that the date for MCD polls was to be announced at 5 p.m. on March 9, but the same day an hour ago, Centre wrote to State EC to combine all 3 civic bodies into one, and to delay polls. EC agreed to do so. The State Election Commissioner must reveal if he was threatened (by Centre) with ED, I-T, CBI raids, or has been given a post-retirement role after April. he added.

Responding to Kejriwal’s statement, Irani said Kejriwal has deprived the people of Delhi of the strongest unit of Democracy, of its funds, adding, they (AAP) are requested to allow development work to be done till the slums of the poor, let the reform work be done.

The MCD election dates are yet to be issued by the Centre, according to the State Election Commissioner, who is investigating certain legal objections presented by the central government. The Centre intends to restructure the MCD by combining Delhi’s three municipal corporations.
