The Aam Aadmi Party on Thursday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led Delhi municipal corporations of indulging in massive corruption in the name of conversion charges and parking fees in market areas.
Addressing a press conference, AAP spokesperson Dilip Pandey said that through an RTI filed by AAP legislator Jarnail Singh, it has come to fore that south municipal corporation has obtained Rs 966 crore as conversion charges and Rs 61 crore as parking fees.
Pandey alleged that the amount instead of being used for development and beautification of the area has been transferred in the general accounts by the BJP-run municipal corporations.
Pandey said in guise of the Supreme Court-appointed monitoring committee, the municipal corporations are minting money from traders by executing the sealing drive in the city.
The AAP also raised the issue in the House of north corporation on Thursday after which the House was adjourned for the day.
The ongoing sealing drive was discussed in the three-day winter session of the Delhi legislative Assembly with AAP and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislators blaming each other for the sealing.
The matter was later referred to a nine-member committee by Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel.
