'Crumbling power sector in national capital': Atishi's big claim days after Delhi mandate

Atishi

Days after the Aam Aadmi Party was ousted from power in the national capital, outgoing Delhi chief minister Atishi on Thursday alleged that she has received several complaints of power cuts in the city since the BJP won the assembly election.

Addressing a presser, she claimed that within three days of AAP being ousted from power in Delhi, more than 40 outages were reported from different areas of the city and people have now started buying inverters.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader also alleged that the BJP does not know how to rule and that it would create a situation of long power outages in Delhi like Uttar Pradesh, a BJP–ruled state.

“In the last three days, I have received several complaints about power cuts in Delhi. Does this indicate the collapse of the power sector within just three days? It clearly shows that under Arvind Kejriwal’s government, the AAP administration was closely monitoring and supervising the electricity infrastructure on a day-to-day basis," Atishi said, according to PTI.
