Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal asked people in Delhi to vote for INDIA bloc candidates in the Lok Sabha polls so that their voices can be heard in Parliament and inflated water bills are waived.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on February 25 asked people in Delhi to vote for INDIA bloc candidates in the Lok Sabha polls so that their voices can be heard in Parliament and inflated water bills are waived.
Speaking at a protest organised by his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) against inflated water bills here, Mr. Kejriwal said on a lighter note that he should be given the Nobel Prize for running the government despite adverse conditions.
"In the Lok Sabha elections, you should vote for INDIA bloc candidates from Delhi and send them to Parliament. This will create a protective shield around Delhi and no lieutenant governor will be able to do anything," the AAP national convenor said.
"I assure you that within 15 days of the Lok Sabha elections and the win of INDIA bloc candidates, your water bills will come down to zero," he added.
The AAP and Congress, allies in the INDIA bloc, have finalised a 4-3 arrangement for Delhi, under which the ruling party will contest four out of the seven parliamentary seats in the national capital.
The AAP leader said there are around 11 lakh families who have received inflated water bills.
"The AAP government is your government. Had the BJP been in power, it would have disconnected the water supply. Those who feel that you have received inflated water bills, you do not need to pay them.
