Atishi, Raghav Chadha meet Arvind Kejriwal in jail; directed to resolve water, power crisis
New Delhi/IBNS: Amidst the persisting water and power crises in Delhi, state minister Atishi and AAP MP Raghav Chadha Thursday met Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal at the Tihar jail and were directed to take measures to curb the problems as soon as possible.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener is lodged in Tihar jail’s number 2 in connection with the excise policy-linked money laundering case.
“Today I met Kejriwal ji, who is lodged in Tihar jail in a fake case by the central government. But, he still worries about the people of Delhi, more than himself. He inquired about the issues related to the power and water and he told me that he watched the water crisis in Delhi on television in Tihar,” Atishi told media outside the Tihar jail.
She said Kejriwal has directed them to take all necessary steps and arrangements that could be made to overcome the water crisis as soon as possible.
“He has directed all the AAP legislators to go on the ground and take all possible steps to provide water to the people in their areas,” she said.
Atishi said Kejriwal inquired about the power cuts in Delhi which occurred due to a fire incident in Uttar Pradesh two days ago.
“He told us to hold the meetings with the concerned department officials to prevent the power crisis from happening in the future,” she said.
On Wednesday, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann joined Kejriwal's wife Sunita to visit him in Tihar.
