The CM alleged that officers were refusing to carry out their duties citing alleged threats. Kejriwal minced no words in pointing fingers at the BJP, alleging that their interference was obstructing the administration's efforts to address critical issues.
"BJP pressuring officers to stop implementation of one-time settlement scheme for correcting water bills," the Delhi CM said addressing the Assembly in the national capital.
Kejriwal emphasized the importance of the one-time settlement scheme in correcting water bills. He appealed to the Lieutenant Governor to intervene and instruct officers to proceed with the implementation of the scheme, stressing the urgency of the matter.
"There will be massive agitation by people if one-time settlement scheme for correcting water bills not implemented in Delhi," Kejriwal said according to newswire PTI and further said: "Request Lt Governor to direct officers to implement one-time settlement scheme for correcting water bills."
