Speaking about the campaign, Sachdeva said, "We have launched a cleanliness drive in many slums of Delhi. It is rainy season, many types of diseases occur, dengue cases are also increasing. All our workers are running cleanliness programmes in different slums of Delhi today. We are going to continue this programme."
Meanwhile, BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj launched a scathing attack on the AAP government in Delhi, saying that it is AAP's old habit that they don't do any work and when some crisis occurs, they blame the officials.
"It is AAP's old habit, they don't do any work and when some crisis occurs, they blame the officials. This crisis of manhole opening has come because they didn't do desilting on drains on time," Bansuri Swaraj said.
She further added, "AAP govt has been in power for the last 10 years and Delhi drowns in every monsoon. Now, in great haste, they are opening manholes to clean the drain but they are so careless that they forget to close it up."
Union Minister Harsh Malhotra said, "If there is cleanliness, then there is good health and if there is good health, there will be development of the country."
BJP MP Praveen Khandelwal, said, "BJP made a scheme to clean jhuggi-jhopdis to uplift their life standards. We are organising this campaign to spread a message of inclusivity in society."
