Leaders of the BJP-ruled South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) presented their report card today claiming their performance to be the "best" among the three civic bodies.
They also accused the AAP-led Delhi government of "harassing" the three municipal corporations in getting their dues cleared.
In the run-up to the MCD elections, the three municipal corporations ruled by the BJP are presenting their report cards including works done by them from 2012-2017.
Highlighting their achievements in the past five years, the SDMC leader of the House Subhash Arya and Chairman of Standing Committee Shailender Singh Monty enumerated the work done by the civic body in areas of health and education, street lighting, garbage collection, flyovers and development of amusement park.
They claimed though the three municipal corporations have performed well but the services of SDMC were the "best" as it had comparatively better financial resources at its disposal.
"The way Delhi Government harassed North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) and East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC) in getting their dues from the government, SDMC was also treated in the same manner but since it had sufficient self generated economic resources at its disposal, it could serve the people in a better way," Arya said.
He said the SDMC is cooperating with digitalisation campaign of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and is providing online services for approval of building plan, issuing trade license or death and birth certificates or property tax records.
A report card was presented a few days ago by leaders of NDMC and EDMC, also ruled by BJP.
The election for 104 wards each in NDMC and SDMC, and 64 in EDMC, will be held on April 23 and the last date for filing nomination is April 3.
