Delhi's former CM and Aam Aadmi Party's national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday, April 12, said, "What have the BJP people done to Delhi in just two months?"

AAP Never Let Delhi Face Power Cuts: Kejriwal

Earlier, Kejriwal slammed incumbent Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, stating that on April 9, Delhi's peak power demand was 5,462 MW. "Even with this moderate demand, multiple areas faced hours-long outages. Last year, the peak demand had reached nearly 8,500 MW, and yet the AAP government ensured uninterrupted power supply," he said.

Former Delhi CM and incumbent Leader of Opposition Atishi, too, targeted the BJP. She shared videos of herself visiting various assembly constituencies and talking to people. The videos also showed her talking to affected residents in Janakpuri, the constituency of Delhi Power Minister Ashish Sood. In the video, people could be seen telling Atishi, "We made a mistake voting for BJP."
