NEW DELHI:
Over the last 15 years, BJP has made a record of mentally harassing MCD employees. BJP’s arrogance has forced MCD employees asking for their salaries to protest for over 70 lac hours, yet the BJP refused to pay their dues. AAP Senior Leader and MCD Incharge Shri Durgesh Pathak stated — MCD Employees have gone to the streets protesting against the BJP over 10 times in the past year. BJP has looted the MCD to such an extent that it has no money to pay its employees. BJP leaders are so inhumane that the MCD employees have had to protest even to get the most basic facilities. BJP Councillors are getting richer day by day while MCD employees get poorer because of their scams. People of Delhi will avenge the sufferings of these 70 lac hours by kicking the BJP out of the MCD in the next elections.
Shri Durgesh Pathak said, “The most prominent hallmark of the work of an organisation is how satisfied its employees seem with it. For the last 15 years the BJP has ruled upon the MCD and we’ve all seen how it has tortured their employees. They are either protesting on the streets or being arrested. The same goes for the MCD teachers and doctors. No one is at peace while working for the BJP ruled MCD. Every single employee of the MCD be it sanitation workers, horticulture staff, teachers or doctors, everyone has been completely left broken from inside due to the barbaric rule of the BJP. Whenever one would go for a drive through Delhi, they’d see some MCD staff or the other protesting against the BJP asking for the most basic facilities. They haven’t been paid salaries for almost half a year now.”
He continued, “The MCD employees are facing difficulties in managing their day to day expenses, one can only imagine what must be the case with their mortgages and dues. They aren’t left with another option but to protest. In the last one year, MCD employees have been forced to spend nights out on the streets and face the beatings of the police because of the arrogance of the BJP. These protests have taken up as long as 53 days from the normalcy of their lives. They’ve been unable to dispense their duties because of the inefficiency of the BJP and the corruption of its leaders.”
Shri Pathak added, “The first protest went on for 16 days from 6th January to 21st January. Over 52,000 protested during this time. Another 1,000 employees demonstrated a sit in for a day on March 9. Then on 26th & 27th October there were over 1,400 staffers protesting against the BJP. On November 1, another 1,100 employees sat down to protest. Then for 33 days from November 29th to December 31st 1,200 employees protested on the streets braving the harsh cold waves. On December 8th, 13th, 23rd and 27th around 14,500 employees of the MCD demonstrated protests and sit-ins at separate occasions. Over 70 lac working hours were wasted because of this. One can only imagine the amount of money has been lost because of this. But this can’t be larger than the stress and agony faced by the employees. They were helpless, they were only asking for their dues but the BJP robbed them off of not just their salaries but their dignity too.”
He concluded, “MCD employees have been reduced to such a distressful condition because of the BJP. It is because of their corrupt mindset that this has transpired. It is because of their loot that the MCD has no money. It is because of their habit of giving away high value to assets to their leaders that this is happening. It is because of the BJP’s Rs 2,500 crore scam that the MCD faces bankruptcy, it is because of their sanitation scam, dengue medicine scam, PF & house tax scam and pension scam that the employees of the MCD suffer. BJP councillors are getting richer day by day while the employees of the MCD get poorer. The blood of Delhiites is boiling because of the BJP today and they for sure will kick them out of power in the next elections.”
