NEW DELHI:
Aam Aadmi Party functionary Durgesh Pathak
has said that sitting BJP councillor Jyoti Rachoya has written a letter to BJP national president JP Nadda, claiming that corruption in Delhi’s municipal corporations is at peak.
In a press conference held on Wednesday, Pathak said the councillor had met Delhi BJP chief and mayors of the corporations several times over the issue of corruption, but no action was taken.
“We have repeatedly said that the BJP-led municipal corporations have become a den of corruption for the past 15 years. In Delhi, you cannot build a single house without bribing the municipal councillors of BJP,” Pathak said.
About the letter, the AAP functionary said nothing could be more shameful for BJP than this.
Delhi BJP spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor said BJP had zero tolerance on corruption. The municipal corporations have also acted tough on corruption, he added.
“As for the matter of councillor Jyoti Rachoya’s complaint, it is a case of illegal occupation and not of financial corruption. The councillor recently met party functionaries and her complaint has been resolved by mayor Jai Prakash,” Kapoor said.
