Talking about Delhi, Kejriwal said if there was an election in Delhi today, his Aam Aadmy Party will win 70 out 70 seats.
He added, “Our MLA Commando Surender Singh was arrested by Delhi Police, next day court gave him the bail saying that it was a political vendetta. The central government keeps objecting to everything we do. They say we can’t do this and we can’t do that. But they never tell us what we can do in government.”
He said that there was no power shortage in Delhi adding that “this summer there were no power cuts due to electricity shortage, maybe few due to technical faults but not due to shortage.”
