New Delhi: The BJP on Sunday hit out against the AAP government and blamed chief minister Arvind Kejriwal led Delhi government for its inability to find a workable solution to traders problems.

BJP leader Manoj Tiwari further alleged that it is difficult to find a severe dark incident in Delhi like the Mayapuri incident.

"Since pollution control is the sole responsibility of Kejriwal government. He must rise from his slumber and take immediate action to provide relief to the traders with a solution acceptable to both traders and National Green Tribunal(NGT)," BJP MLA Vijender Gupta said.

Gupta alleged that despite the NGT court's instructions to the government to relocate the scrap industry in Mayapuri in 2015 CM Kejriwal kept on "sleeping" over the matter.

"He allowed the matter to precipitate on the occasion of Baisakhi and Ambedkar Jayanti. The short fuse which, Mayapuri traders and authorities had to suffer was totally avoidable," he said.

BJP leader and MP for West Delhi, Parvesh Verma, alleged that Kejriwal was lying on the topic of sealing drive while accusing Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers of instigating the violent clashes with police in Mayapuri.

"I challenge Arvind Kejriwal who is the chief minister of Delhi to prove that there is any hand of the BJP either through Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) or centre in the sealing drive being carried out. The Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) which comes under the Delhi government and the Environment Ministry had given the orders for this action," Verma said.

Arvind Kejriwal's party was prepared much before the Mayapuri incident.

His comments come a day after videos from the incident showing protesters clashing with security forces, after officials of Delhi Municipal Corporation began to seal some illegal factories in the Mayapuri area following a 2015 order of National Green Tribunal (NGT) to shut down 850 polluting factories in the area.

According to police, 14 persons, including an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) and three other police personnel were injured in the clashes.

The sealing drive was started by SDM Delhi Cantonment along with the staff of MCD and Delhi Pollution Control Committe in Mayapuri scrap market in pursuance of NGT orders.

Meanwhile, Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia on Sunday criticised the BJP government for instigating clashes between the local scrap traders and police personnel in Delhi Mayapuri area on Saturday.
