Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday accused the BJP and the civic bodies administered by it of making Delhi the "garbage capital of India" and claimed that the Ghazipur landfill will soon cross the height of Taj Mahal.

Hitting back, Member of Parliament and former Delhi BJP president Vijay Goel said it is Kejriwal who talks about two models of governance but forgot that the AAP government has turned Delhi into a "hell".

Addressing a press conference, Kejriwal said, "The BJP and the MCD have made Delhi the garbage capital of India, with open 'dhalaos' (community dustbins) and garbage dumped in every nook and corner of the city."
About the promises made by the BJP before winning the civic bodies elections, Kejriwal said, "I believe that not even one of them has been fulfilled."
