BJP Protests Over High Electricity Bills and Dirty Water in East Delhi

The BJP held a protest against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in Chitra Vihar over issues like high electricity bills, lack of basic facilities, and dirty water in slum areas. Residents such as Shyam Bai and Jyoti expressed their grievances, including the absence of medical facilities and inadequate food supplies.

The BJP launched a protest against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday, citing grievances over high electricity bills and dirty water plaguing the slum areas in Chitra Vihar, East Delhi.

Leading the protest, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva highlighted the lack of basic amenities and skyrocketing utility bills faced by slum residents.

'What is the mistake of these slum dwellers that they are getting this dirty water?' asked Sachdeva. 'They live in Delhi, where Kejriwal makes false promises and does not fulfil any promise.'

Local resident Shyam Bai said, 'The problem is that we are not getting clean water. We have been living here for 40 years. Nobody is giving us a place to live. We are fed up by paying such big amounts of electricity bills and only getting 15 kilogrammes of food for a family of 12.'

Another resident, Jyoti, lamented the absence of medical facilities. 'We want at least a dispensary to be there so that we don't have to go far away for minor health issues,' she added.

Sachdeva promised that a future BJP-led government in Delhi would reimburse all these bills. He urged residents to keep their bills as proof.
