Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia asked the BJP to stop playing the "game" of unification of the three corporations, and face the election.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday dared the BJP to let the Delhi civic polls be held, claiming that the merger of the three corporations will not change the BJP's fate as Delhiites have decided to root out its 17-year-long regime of "corruption".
Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia asked the BJP to stop playing the "game" of unification of the three corporations, and face the election.
He said the BJP's crushing defeat is eminent if the polls are conducted as people of Delhi are fed up with the functioning of the civic bodies, under the saffron party, for the past 17 years due to "rampant corruption" and failure on various fronts.
"Aap ye ek ka teen, teen ka ek mat khelo. Chunav se bhago mat. Himmat hai toh jaldi chunav kar ke dikhao (You do not play this game of merger of the three municipal corporation into one. Do not run away from the elections. If you have courage, let the elections be held)," Mr Sisodia said in a message to the BJP.
