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.
