Speaking to media persons, Pathak said, "Yesterday, the BJP held a press conference and Gupta looked nervous about the imminent defeat in the MCD polls. They themselves know about their upcoming defeat. Many sanitation workers called me and complained about their (BJ) lies. They said that the BJP has made these promises many times but never fulfilled them. It's been around 30 years that these workers are being deceived."

The AAP leader said that the time for the BJP is now up in the MCD. "I would like to tell the sanitation workers to take revenge and defeat the BJP," he added.
