New Delhi: The political temperature in the national capital has risen as soon as the Election Commission of India announced the date for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) elections. In this MCD election, the mountain of garbage seems to be included in the main agenda of political parties. Regarding this, the ruling BJP in the MCD is accusing the Arvind Kejriwal government of Delhi that it did not give money to the MCD, so it is visible as a mountain of garbage. At the same time, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is blaming the BJP. Meanwhile, Delhi's Environment Minister Gopal Rai has claimed on Friday that within five years after the Aam Aadmi Party comes to power in the MCD, the mountain of garbage will be completely cleared from Delhi.
10 guarantees of Kejriwal
Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) Delhi unit convenor and Environment Minister Gopal Rai on Friday claimed that his party will solve the city's waste management problem within five years if voted to power in the MCD. He said that the BJP has failed in its 15-year tenure in the MCD. The party had earlier this month issued 'Kejriwal's 10 guarantees' for the December 4 MCD polls, promising to remove three mountains of garbage (landfill sites) and address the problem of waste mismanagement in the capital. Has gone.
Help will be taken from international experts
When asked why the party is focusing on the issue of garbage? In response, he said that it is not just 'AAP', but the people of Delhi, who are raising this issue. Senior AAP leader Atishi had earlier said that the party would seek the help of international experts to find solutions to reduce the size of the three mountains of garbage. Agreeing with him, Gopal Rai said that there are many countries which have come up with technical solutions for waste management.
Machine will clean the garbage mountain
Environment Minister Gopal Rai said that I had visited Sweden some time ago and it is a country which used to be polluted at one point of time. There the waste collected from the houses goes directly to the treatment plants. They turn it into energy and fertilizer. Elaborating on the party's plans, Gopal Rai said that he would set up treatment plants in Delhi where the waste collected from households would be dumped directly there and electricity would be generated. He said that we will install more machines to clean the landfill site. The Aam Aadmi Party will do the work in the next five years which the BJP has not been able to do in its last 15 years of rule in the MCD.
