Please approve this scheme. At least let me know your objections. But LG didn’t had courtesy to at least inform me before rejecting the scheme,” Kejriwal said.

“Now from the next week I along with my MLAs will visit door-to-door in every Jhuggi colony in the city and will tell people how BJP on behest of the LG is stopping doorstep delivery of ration. I will make sure that no one votes for the BJP in future,” Kejriwal said.

Kejriwal also raked up the issue of water scarcity in the national capital and accused the Harayana government of not releasing an adequate supply of water to meet Delhi’s day to day requirement.

“There must be no politics on Water. This is petty politics. Why are they (BJP) punishing the Janta,” Kejriwal said.

The Chief Minister claimed that according to a survey carried, people of Delhi are annoyed with performance of the BJP at the Centre and at the same time held the work carried by the AAP at a very high esteem.

“In the past few days,” Kejriwal said. “He asked his subordinates to get peoples feedback about the performance of the BJP and the AAP. And people are upset with the banking frauds, GST, Demonetization and sealing drive in the capital under the BJP regime.”

“At the sometime,” Kejriwal added, “the initiatives of the AAP in the education, health, electricity were widely praised by common people,” Earlier, Kejriwal accused the BJP of indulging in “dirty politics” by “stalling” his government’s work through the bureaucracy.

Kejriwal’s allegation comes after the Centre asked Delhi Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel not to accept any question on any reserved subject. Kejriwal alleged that people were being made to “suffer due to BJP’s dirty politics”.

“Despite BJP’s efforts to obstruct work and in most adverse conditions, AAP government delivering,” he said on Twitter.

Goel on Tuesday adjourned the House for half an hour as a mark of protest over the Home department declining to give a reply to a question related to replacement of police station level committees with district level committees.
