Kejriwal asks BJP to quit Delhi civic corporations

New Delhi, March 25
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday said the AAP would turn the cash-strapped municipal corporations into profit-making entities if the ruling BJP quit the civic bodies.

Speaking in the Delhi assembly, Kejriwal accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of not running the three Municipal Corporations of Delhi (MCD) in a proper manner, and plunging them into financial losses.

"I want to say that if MCD is not working, let BJP resign and AAP will turn MCD into a profit-making entity within a year," he said.

Kejriwal's remark comes in the wake of the government refusing to provide grants to the municipal corporations for the upkeep of the city.
