AAP Senior Leader and MLA Shri Durgesh Pathak said that the BJP is trying to defame the AAP government by blocking the sewer system of Delhi. For the last few days, there is a increased problem of sewer blockage and overflow at many places in Delhi. When Delhi Jal Board tried to clean it, they found bags filled with sand and cement in sewers in various areas. Overflow is happening in such places where it has not happened for 25-30 years. All this cannot be a coincidence. Everything is happening under BJP’s dirty conspiracy.
MCD in-charge Shri Durgesh Pathak warned the people of BJP that the people of Delhi are not going to vote for the BJP as they have been exposed and people have understood their cheap politics. BJP should apologize to the people of Delhi. Also, this entire matter should be thoroughly investigated.
Showing the pictures and videos of the sewers, the Rajendra Nagar MLA Shri Durgesh Pathak stated, “The sewer overflow on the roads has become a problematic issue in Delhi. When workers from the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) went inside the manholes, they found these sacks stuck in the drainage systems. This is not accidental, it seems like someone has deliberately filled these sacks with debris, soil, and stones, and has thrown these into the sewer. As you can see in these pictures, similar sacks have been found from sewers of different areas.”
The AAP MLA slammed the BJP for adopting cheap tactics by saying, “I have never seen a party as unscrupulous as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The deliberate blocking of sewer system can only be done by someone with an agenda, whose purpose is to defame Shri Arvind Kejriwal and his government, to defame the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government and the local MLA and the councillor of the party. All of this is happening under BJP’s conspiracy. I have shown you pictures and videos from four different places, and it is definitely not a coincidence”.
Shri Durgesh Pathak further added how the instances of sewage overflow have increased in the past 10 days. The overflow has started happening in those areas where complaints of sewage overflow have not been reported in the past 25-30 years.
“I would suggest the BJP people to do some work. You (BJP) were governing Delhi for 15 years, where you had the central government with you for about 8-9 years, and you ruined Delhi’s drainage system during those years. You have only destroyed Delhi in 15 years of your governance. You could not do anything good for the people, and if some other party or leader is trying to do some good work, you are working desperately to create hurdles for them by stopping their schemes.”
He added, “The AAP government has made Mohalla clinics, has renovated schools, has given free electricity and water supply. You (BJP) are incapable of doing anything yourself. Your focus is only on stopping us from doing the work, either with the help of the LG or the officers. If not the LG or officers, you send your goons and people to do such things.”
Shri Durgesh Pathak stated, “Delhiites are not going to forgive the BJP, they will certainly punish you (BJP) for this disgusting politics. The BJP has exposed themselves with such shameful acts. The people of Delhi are aware about who’s working for them and who’s not. They know it very well that you are not even trying to do anything for them.”
The Senior Leader of the AAP demanded the BJP to apologise to the people of Delhi. He also demanded thorough investigation into this matter.
