The AAP today accused BJP-led municipal corporations of "playing with lives of people in Delhi for political gains" after a CAG report rapped the civic bodies for failing to mount an effective response to dengue despite having adequate funds.
The party said the CAG has validated its claim the BJP has turned MCD into "Malaria-Chikunguniya-Dengue".
Delhi Convener Dilip Pandey said, "For political gain and self interest, BJP leaders played with lives of the people of Delhi."
"The twisted politics of the BJP which is motivated only by self interest has resulted in the MCDs buying incorrect chemicals and fogging the city, siphoning funds through setting up of various unnecessary teams.
"The BJP has played with the health of citizens of Delhi to meet its sinister political ends."
The CAG has rapped the BJP-ruled civic bodies in the national capital saying it failed to come up with effective response to dengue despite having adequate funds.
The CAG's performance audit report tabled in the Delhi Assembly today said the municipal bodies spent Rs 109.43 crore between 2013-15 on domestic breeding-checkers without any supervision of the work done or any assessment.
