AAP Alleges BJP Used MCD Staff to Inflate Modi Rally; Municipal Body Rejects Claims

MCD’s mayor denies any coercive directives to civic staff.

Overview

  • AAP leaders released videos and worker testimonies claiming sanitation workers, teachers and anti-malaria staff were ordered onto buses and threatened with suspension if they refused to attend a rally in Rohini.
  • The party displayed a note purportedly from the Deputy Commissioner of Education instructing MCD school teachers to gather at pickup points by 7 a.m. for the Prime Minister’s event.
  • MCD Mayor Raja Iqbal Singh rejected the accusations, asserting that no directives were issued and that employees attended voluntarily to hear Prime Minister Modi inaugurate major road projects.
  • The rally coincided with the inauguration of the Dwarka Expressway and Urban Extension Road-II and fell on the Janmashtami holiday, which AAP says compounded the imposition.
  • Coverage so far records competing claims but no independent verification or formal inquiry outcome has been made public, leaving the dispute unresolved.
