# The strike by MCD workers is unfortunate

# It is being assumed that the MCD workers have gone on strike since Delhi government has not released their salaries.

# BJP doing politics over the issue and trying to spread garbage on the streets of Delhi

# It is being projected as if Delhi govt was supposed to pay the salaries and it hasn’t released them

# I understand the pain of the MCD workers who did not get their salaries,but what about the BJP people spreading garbage on streets?-

# We have paid Rs 900 crores to the North MCD, double the amount of salary than previous year. Where has all the money gone.

# We have paid Rs 466 crore to the East MCD. Where have all the money gone

# There is corruption in MCD

# There should be a CBI inquiry into the mismanagement of funds of the MCD

# We are trying to arrange the funds to clear the dues of these workers till January 31.

# Delhi doctors have requested us to take over MCD hospitals

# I request MCD workers to call off their strike
