New Delhi: In a major poll promise, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said house tax will be abolished and pending dues will be waived if Aam Aadmi Party emerges victorious in the municipal elections.
Civic polls, to be held on April 23, are seen as a crucial test of AAP's popularity in the city after its "disappointing" performance in Punjab and Goa Assembly polls. With this poll promise, it is clear that the Aam Aadmi Party, which had a stunning victory in Delhi in 2015, is again banking on populist measures to woo voters.
Addressing a press conference, Kejriwal also promised that within a year of coming to power in the MCDs, the AAP administration would turn around the finances of the loss-making municipal bodies and ensure that their employees get their salaries on or before the seventh of every month.
The Chief Minister also promised to make Delhi a modern city if AAP wins the MCD polls.
