New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday talked about various issues while remarking that a serious constitutional crisis has arisen in the national capital as officers are saying they will not work because of alleged threats and pressure from the BJP. Addressing the Delhi Assembly on Monday, Kejriwal claimed that this problem stems from Delhi not enjoying full statehood and the real power lies with the central government, which is led by a different party, and that other party does not want that the elected government (of Delhi) does its work, reported PTI.
Delhi CM has leveled serious allegations against certain officers, claiming that they are deliberately obstructing a one-time settlement scheme aimed at rectifying water bills. He asserted that these officers are being coerced into impeding the scheme under pressure from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), however, there was no immediate reaction from the BJP.

According to PTI, CM Kejriwal claimed to appeal to Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena to intervene and expedite the clearance of a crucial scheme aimed at rectifying water bills, emphasizing its potential to benefit 10.50 lakh families in the national capital.
"We introduced a scheme to solve the problems of the people of Delhi -- a one-time settlement scheme", PTI quoted Delhi CM as saying. He also said his government works for the people.
CM Kejriwal mocked the opposition, saying, "BJP had overlooked the issues of the people and were reduced to three or eight seats in the assembly", as per PTI.
The chief minister claimed that officers are being threatened that they will be suspended or fired or sent to jail or central agencies will be set after them. "Does it behoove the Centre and the BJP that an elected government has been brought to such a state?", Kejriwal asked.
"And, who all are behind it? The BJP is behind it. The BJP hates the people of Delhi," he alleged.
