Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday asked the people of Delhi to vote for India Alliance candidates in the Lok Sabha elections, so that their voice can be heard in Parliament and the increased water bills are waived off. Speaking at a protest organized by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) against increased water bills, Kejriwal in a light-hearted tone said he should be given the Nobel Prize for running the government despite adverse circumstances.
CM Arvind Kejriwal said, ‘In the Lok Sabha elections, you should vote for India Alliance candidates from Delhi and send them to Parliament. This will create a security blanket around Delhi and no Lieutenant Governor will be able to do anything. I assure you that within 15 days of the Lok Sabha elections and the victory of the India Alliance candidates, your water bill will become zero.
India alliance partners AAP and Congress have finalized a four-three arrangement for Delhi, under which the ruling party will contest four of the seven parliamentary seats in the national capital. The AAP leader said that there are about 11 lakh families who have received increased water bills. Your government is your government. If BJP was in power it would have cut off water supply, people who feel that you have got increased water bills, you do not need to pay them.
