Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday slammed Union Home Minister Amit Shah over his remarks on AAP wanting to make MCD 'AAP-nirbhar' while owing Rs 40,000 crore to the municipal corporations.

The AAP chief brushed aside the accusations and asked the BJP not to fabricate excuses for its failures in running the MCD for 15 years.

In a tweet, CM Kejriwal slammed Amit Shah for asking for votes for three more years while "not doing anything in 15 years". He also promised that AAP will make Delhi garbage-free if voted into power. 

"For something you could not do in 15 years, now you want three more years for that? Why should people trust you? You won't be able to do it. Now we will make Delhi garbage-free," CM Kejriwal said in a tweet.

 

The AAP chief convenor also asked how much money the BJP-led central government has given to MCD. He challenged Amit Shah to tell about any work BJP has done in MCD.

The Delhi Chief Minister was responding to Shah at an event hosted by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).
