Demanding immediate improvement in the power and water supply in the national Capital, several workers of the BJP as well as the Congress held protests outside Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence on Tuesday.
Police used water canons to disperse the protesters.
Attacking Kejriwal, Delhi BJP chief Satish Upadhyay said while Delhi is facing severe water and power crisis, the Chief Minister is busy fulfilling his political ambitions in Goa and Punjab.
“The Government has turned a blind eye to the issues of power outages and water crisis in the city. The CM is on a Goa trip and the Minister in-charge of Water is touring Punjab,” Upadhyay said.
He further added that there are areas which are reeling under severe water shortage and there are power cuts for over three hours a day hitting water supply. “This Government lacks vision and administrative control. Delhiites are craving for water,” he added.
The BJP protest was followed by a demonstration by the members of the women’s wing of Delhi Congress. Holding pots in their hands, the women workers raised slogans against Kejriwal.
“Water and power is unavailable even for two days at a stretch. The CM should be ashamed of this. He (Kejriwal) should think of the national Capital rather than thinking of Goa and Punjab. He has spent only on his advertisements,” Delhi Mahila Congress chief Barkha Shukla Singh said.
