“You started doing dharnas outside MLAs’ houses as soon as you came to know we are holding a special session on MCD. Taking on the BJP-ruled municipal corporations, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said the civic bodies were so corrupt that even Prime Minister Narendra Modi would have to bribe officials if he wanted to build a balcony in his house. It will also look into the feasibility and suitability of having trifurcated municipal corporations. The special session saw a number of MLAs raising issues related to the municipal corporations, including sanitation, corruption, misappropriation of funds and irregularities. The assembly adopted a motion to set up a house committee to enquire into charges of ‘rampant corruption and irregularities’ in municipal corporations.
