New Delhi, Jan 9 (SocialNews.XYZ) Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday released a report card on the BJP-controlled Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).

He also said that even the MCD's internal audit reveals that it is a den of corruption concealing its financial mess.
"Even a small child is calling it the "most corrupt department"," the Chief Minister said.
He noted that the north zone MCD's chief auditor has come across financial irregularities Rs 3,299 crore in the department.
Close to 90 per cent of MCD-run public toilets lack electricity, water, guards or maintenance personnel, while "majority of these are shut or locked", he said.
