AAP leaders hit the road to clean Delhi's garbage, face residents' ire

June 13, 2015 11:31

A day after sanitation workers in east and north Delhi called off their strike, the Aam Aadmi Party leaders on Saturday wielded the brooms and took part in the cleanliness drive on the streets of the national capital.

However, some Delhi residents dismissed the AAP leaders' attempt as just a photo opportunity.

AAP MLA from Krishna Nagar, SK Bagga, was also barred by the residents of his constituency from taking part in the drive, a TV channel reported.

This morning, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia was in his constituency Patparganj with other workers to clean the garbage that has filled the air in Delhi with a stench.

Other AAP leaders, including Ashutosh and Alka Lamba (in Chandni Chowk) and Sanjay Singh, were seen cleaning loads of litter and rubbish scattered all over the roads.
