Noida: Local BJP leader's Facebook post spurs wrath

A Facebook post by a local BJP leader about the construction of a waste-to-energy plant in the sector has invited the wrath of netizens who have accused him of politicising the issue.

Local BJP leader Sanjay Bali wrote the post in the context of a newspaper ad carried out by Noida Authority justifying the selection of the controversial site.

The Facebook post by Sanjay Bali, read: "Noida Authority gave complete information on solid waste management to Noida residents. Some people — who have nothing to do with Noida — are doing politics over garbage disposal. Today, through their message in the newspaper, the authority has shut their mouths, as it was their government in power when the waste management space was sanctioned in Sector 123. 

Those who are instigating people and sitting on protest with residents are doing [so] to play politics over the garbage issue. We are sure that Noida residents will show the mirror to these people who are politising the issue. Noida Authority made it clear that dumping ground won't be made there, people can find some other place to do politics. Let Noida be clean."

A resident of Sector 121 wrote: "BJP is trying to save its side through this because the state and central government belong to BJP, so they have power to do anything."
