Delhi would most probably hold its municipal polls next month.

In his speech, Kejriwal attacked both leading parties, BJP in the municipal corporations and Congress, which had been in power for fifteen years with Sheila Dikshit as the Delhi CM.

Kejriwal was in Uttam Nagar area when he said that the municipal bodies have failed to keep the capital clean.

"They say Kejriwal fights a lot. Yes I do, but not for my wife or children. I fight for your rights. So you tell me, should I fight or not?" an emotionally charged Kejriwal addressed the rally.

The CM said that cleanliness and sanitation in the city is not under his direct control since the corporations are responsible for these works. He asked people to vote for AAP in municipal polls so that he can make sure that these corporations do their work.

"If AAP gets control, I promise to clean up Delhi like never before," he added.

"Before AAP came to power, the government didn't carry out sewer works in unauthorised colonies. But we changed that as human beings live even in these colonies. Apart from laying sewers, we are working on regularisation. We sent the file to the Centre a year ago, but decision on it has been delayed. The high court has ordered the Centre to speed up the matter," Kejriwal said.

Highlighting what he has done for Delhi in fields of education and health, he said that his government has brought change in the form of improved infrastructure and quality in these sectors.
