Union Home Minister Amit Shah was speaking on Thursday after launching a new sewage‑treatment plant in New Delhi. He told the crowd that the huge garbage piles that covered the city during the previous Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government will be gone by 1 January 2028. “The landfill height reached 65 metres,” Shah said. “By next year the mountains of garbage will give way to a beautiful garden.”
Shah used the event to criticize former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the AAP‑run administration. He accused the party of a number of scandals—including the Mohalla Clinic, liquor and medicine scams—and said those misdeeds led to a loss in the February 2025 Delhi assembly elections. “Kejriwal has loaded Delhi with scandals for eleven years,” Shah said. “We will seek a fresh mandate; our candidates will run cleanly.”
The minister also compared the cost of alleged corruption. He said that when Congress was in power at the centre, 12 lakh crore rupees were allegedly lost in frauds. He added that during the past 11 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rule no single corruption claim was raised.
During the inauguration, Shah laid the foundation stone for a Delhi development project costing about 1,816 crore rupees. The ceremony was attended by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and other officials. He extended Diwali and Chhath‑Puja greetings to the people of Delhi. ()
