Manish Sisodia at the Ghazipur landfill site

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Wednesday said people will vote for the AAP in the upcoming municipal polls to clear the "garbage of the BJP" and if the Arvind Kejriwal-led party comes to power in the MCD, it will make the "mountains" of trash disappear from the city in five years.

Sisodia said this while interacting with reporters after visiting the Ghazipur landfill site in east Delhi.

"Just to show that the height of the Ghazipur landfill has come down, the BJP-led Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has taken garbage from it and dumped it in nearby areas," he alleged, adding that the saffron party lacks the intention to solve the problem.

There was no immediate reaction from the MCD or the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

People will vote for "jhadu" (the poll symbol of the Aam Aadmi Party) in the December 4 MCD election to clear the "garbage of the BJP for a clean Delhi"," Sisodia said.

"Chief Minister Kejriwal himself is an engineer and makes meticulous plans," he said, adding that a plan has also been made to clear these "mountains of garbage" and the trash piled up in others parts of Delhi.

"If the AAP comes to power in the MCD, all mountains of garbage in Delhi will disappear in five years, we have a plan", Sisodia said when asked about a timeline.

Talking to reporters at the site, the deputy chief minister reiterated the AAP's allegation that "16 new landfill sites have been planned", a claim that has been vehemently denied by the MCD. -- PTI
