Delhi CM Kejriwal to provide loan to MCD to pay salaries of agitating employees
Earlier on Wednesday, Kejriwal had said that he will offer a solution that he hoped will satisfy everyone.
Kejriwal came to the conference armed with a lot of numbers and data to prove that the Delhi government is not responsible for the non-payment of salaries to the employees of the MCD.
He later tweeted "It is with great difficulty that we hv been able to find this Rs 550 cr for loan. Del govt is facing Rs 3000 cr VAT shortfall. We had to postpone some of our present commitments to next yr to manage this money."
During the conference, Kejriwal claimed that the MCD has refused to be investigated into and called the situation at the MCD 'a classic case of financial mismanagement'.
Asking the MCD where has all the money gone that it has received from housing tax, parking fees, toll tax, advertising, etc. and there should be a CBI inquiry into the matter.
He also reminded that during President rule in Delhi in 2015, Rs 300 crore loan was recovered from North MCD and Rs 76 crore recovered from East Delhi while his government has not made any such recovery.
Kejriwal also claimed that he has received requests from the doctors of the MCD hospitals that the Delhi government take over the hospitals.
