I do like to ask Arvind Kejriwal, can any city survive without Municipal Corporation? As he has now started the process of removing Municipalities.”“Arvind Kejriwal made a fake promise in 2012 that he will give 20 per cent of the budget to local bodies, but even the 7-8 pc of budget which is being given to the municipalities is being scammed with. Isn't this against municipality reforms?” Lekhi added.
