New Delhi, Apr 24: BJP today accused the Sheila
Dikshit government of creating water and power "crisis" in
the capital and demanded its resignation.
BJP spokesman and MP from South Delhi Vijay Kumar
Malhotra charged that the crisis had forced people to come on
to the roads resulting in "fights and riots".
"During the last four years, Dikshit has been promising
every year that there will be no shortage of electricity and
water during summer season. But the acute shortage of
electricity and water has already started even though the
summer has just begun," he said addressing representatives of
South Delhi Resident Welfare Associations.
"There is crisis in the whole of Delhi, especially South
Delhi, due to shortage of water and electricity whereas
Dikshit is claiming that there is no shortage," he alleged.
Claiming that "fights and riots are taking place for
water", Malhotra said "there is corruption in supply of water
through tankers."
"The electricity sub-contractors, who are either
relatives or agents of congress MLAs, are looting the public,"
he said.
