The Bharatiya Janata Party retaliated by accusing the Aam Aadmi Party of selling tickets for ₹ 4 crore.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has decided not to give tickets to its sitting councilors for the 2022 MCD elections like in 2017. The saffron party retaliated, alleging that AAP was selling tickets to each of the businessmen for ₹4 crore.
Delhi Municipal Corporation (MCD) AAP in-charge Durgesh Pathak said sources told his party that it was because of corruption and incompetence of BJP corporators.
“The decision to change all the councilors was taken at a closed-door meeting of the BJP about four days ago. Now the people of Delhi are raising only one question that why are they not giving tickets to their councilors? This clearly indicates that all their councilors are corrupt and the BJP itself admits it. Otherwise there is no need to give tickets to the existing councillors,” said Mr. Pathak.
He also alleged that during the 2017 MCD elections, all BJP councilors were found corrupt, extorting money from construction work and “grabbing” MCD funds, and the situation remains the same five years later.
Meanwhile, BJP’s MCD election management committee chief Ashish Sood said his party would not respond to such allegations, and asked whether the AAP was “spying” the BJP.
“They made similar allegations in the 2017 corporation elections and the public raised our claims from 142 to 182. He himself is selling tickets to big businessmen for Rs 4 crore. Look at their Rajya Sabha MPs.
