Technical issue in obstructed work, clarifies BJP
The Aam Aadmi Party on Thursday said the BJP-governed municipal corporations were not allowing development works even using Member of Legislative Assembly Local Area Development (MLA-LAD) funds.
“To eliminate the problem of traffic jams in Delhi, we widened many roads which come under the PWD, but we could not widen the roads under the MCDs. I gave money from MLA funds for widening the road connecting the Press Enclave road with Malviya Nagar intersection. Work order got sanctioned, groundbreaking ceremony took place, but local BJP councillor Nandini Sharma did not let the work start,” said AAP MLA Somnath Bharti.
He alleged that because of the BJP councillor’s pressure, the Standing Committee Chairman of SDMC did not let the resolution for the project pass despite keeping the MLA-LAD funds for four years.
