The party members accused the DJB of running a "scam" awarding bogus tenders for the upgradation of its sewerage treatment plants.
Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva alleged that the DJB "scam" was bigger than the "liquor scam" ¿ an alleged scam which has seen the jailing of several AAP leaders, including deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia.
He alleged that at DJB there were many instances where tenders were issued, and payments were made, but no work was done.
No immediate reaction could be had from the Aam Aadmi Party on the allegations.
Sachdeva said BJP workers will reach every home in Delhi to expose DJB's corruption.
Leader of Opposition Ramvir Singh Bidhuri demanded a CBI probe into the alleged corruption.
He charged that a meeting of the DJB that approved the tenders was participated in by Manish Sisodia and Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj with several AAP MLAs as members of the panel.
