Manoj Tiwari attacks CM Arvind Kejriwal over acute water shortage in Delhi

The Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has lodged a caustic attack on the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, with Arvind Kejriwal as a specially chosen target. The opposition party has lambasted the chief minister over acute water shortage the city is grappling with since the beginning of summer this year.

Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari is resorting to all means possible, including 'praying' to Mahatma Gandhi to grant wisdom to Kejriwal. "We have prayed to the Father of the Nation so that the CM acts in prudence and stop being so autocratic. As an elected leader, he must address all power and water-related grievances of Delhiites," Tiwari said. Several party leaders including Mahila Mukti Morcha also staged a protest at Rajghat on Sunday evening.

The north-east Delhi MP tore into the failure of AAP government to supply adequate water and power. "The CM is behaving like Dhritarashtra. This is a governance of convenience-taking up only those issues that suit his interests. The city is crying for water and electricity for the past four months but Kejriwal is focused more on full statehood of Delhi," Tiwari lambasted. "He has also turned a blind eye towards his cabinet's rampant corrupt practices," the BJP leader claimed. Kejriwal's 'revolutionary' image too came under fire by Tiwari who criticised him for holding protests from inside air-conditioned offices.

"The situation has come to such a pass that people are killing over water. There is complete anarchy but Kejriwal thinks statehood is more important. On behalf of the residents, I am proposing him that we are willing to pay for water, at least there should be some in our taps. He is the same man who was voted to power on false promises of free bijli and paani," Tiwari said.
