AAP alleges MCD corruption as private firms get crores for construction debris disposal while garbage remains uncollected on Delhi streets.
New Delhi: Allegations of large-scale corruption have surfaced in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), with Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders claiming that private companies are being paid crores of rupees for waste disposal while streets remain littered with garbage.
AAP Delhi president Saurabh Bhardwaj, citing statements made in the MCD Standing Committee, alleged that construction debris is being dumped at landfill sites under the guise of garbage. The debris is weighed, and payments are made to private contractors based on the weight, even as actual household waste remains uncollected.
“The garbage is lying on the roads, but the private company is still taking crores in payments from the MCD,” Bhardwaj said, highlighting what he termed a “systematic exploitation” of municipal resources.

He further alleged that Deputy Commissioner (DC) officers from other departments have been deliberately posted in the MCD to ensure that the alleged financial irregularities continue without accountability. According to Bhardwaj, this has created an environment where private companies can continue to profit, while sanitation in the city suffers.

The AAP leader also referred to remarks made by CM Rekha Gupta, who reportedly visits the landfill every 15 days and tells workers, “You’ll have to go, brother,” underscoring the persistent problem despite administrative oversight.
These allegations have once again brought MCD waste management practices under the spotlight, raising concerns over transparency, accountability, and the proper utilization of public funds.
The MCD administration has not yet responded to these claims, and it remains to be seen whether an investigation into the alleged malpractice will be initiated.
