Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday claimed that the Delhi government’s senior officials were being threatened to not pass and implement the government’s schemes.
Kejriwal alleged that the officers were saying that they were not able to work as they were under pressure from the ruling dispensation at the Centre. With the senior officials not willing to work, he claimed that Delhi was under a Constitutional crisis.
Kejriwal was addressing the Delhi Assembly when he urged Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena to call up the officials and ask them to approve the water bill scheme and if they still do not approve then the honourable LG must suspend such officials.
Kejriwal was referring to the one time settlement scheme of the unpaid water bills which the government has proposed in view of providing relief to the consumers as well as solving the funds problem of the Delhi Jal Board. Due to faulty billing during the COVID period, 40 per cent of the consumers did not pay the bills as they were wrongly charged for water consumption.
Speaking in the House, he also claimed that Delhi has fallen prey to dirty politics, it not being a full-fledged state.
He further said over ten lakh people received faulty bills and the scheme brought by the government was to rectify the problems faced by the people who were over-billed.
Kejriwal continuing his address, pointed out that he wanted to tell the BJP that they can continue to stop the works, while the AAP will get them done while giving reference of the Mohalla Clinics, Farishtey Scheme and the Jal Board funds matter.
