Speaking to the striking pourakarmikas at Freedom Park, he said, “You have been working hard to keep the city clean. I respect what you are doing. I will not be able to take a decision on your demands instantly. I will talk to the officials about your demands and try to resolve them. I urge you to stop striking and get back to work until then.”
“We have fulfilled all our promises made during elections. We are spending ₹60,000 crore for these guarantee schemes, which benefit you. I will soon call for a meeting of your office-bearers. We will take a decision within the permissible legal framework and ensure that it is favourable to you,” he told them.
