“Nobody has given us an appointment as yet. We are sitting just as we were since 11 am. The CM must meet us, listen to the municipality heads (mayors) and explain to us the exact disbursal procedure and particulars of the due amount of Rs 13,000 crores,” Jai Prakash told ANI.

However, Jain said that the mayors were given an appointment for 2 pm but they did not come to meet him as they were doing politics.

“They were given an appointment for 2 pm but they have not come to meet us yet. They are only concerned with doing politics and not work. There is a lot of corruption in MCD,” Jain said.
