The AAP had promised if the party came to power in Delhi, it would provide free Wi-Fi Internet service across the city. It had helped the party garner support among the youth ahead of the Assembly elections in February 2015.
The Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi turned three on Wednesday, but amid official celebrations, it also faced tough questions as Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal chose to go public and seek feedback on its performance.
Inquisitive Delhiities raised crucial issues such as women's safety and implementation of the pollution-control Odd-Even scheme. Many women reached out to Kejriwal via Facebook and Twitter to ask why streetlights and CCTVs on Delhi's streets were inadequate. The CM ducked the questions.

The party had also promised to install CCTV cameras across the national capital. According to the Public Works Department, CCTV cameras will be installed in the next five-six months.
Delhi resident Shubham Tuteja asked about the city's parking problems, to which Kejriwal asked municipal officials to respond.
The state government will carry out a study to find exact reasons for pollution in different parts of the year. "We took a tough decision by rolling out the Odd-Even scheme. We thank Delhiites for participating in this... But Odd-Even is only a temporary measure," said Kejriwal.
In his address, Kejriwal highlighted the AAP government's achievements. "We have done a lot of work across different sectors, but the maximum work done was in health and education sectors. Since Independence, this is probably the biggest investment made by any government."
Kejriwal again talked about stuck projects in the capital. His government has been in a tug of war with Delhi Lieutenant Anil Baijal over delayed projects. "Put all our MLAs and ministers in jail, but please clear files quickly," he said.
