Delhi power crisis: Kejriwal likely to meet Modi
New Delhi, June 11 (IBNS) Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejirwal and senior party leader Manish Sisodia might meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Delhi power crisis, said reports on Wednesday.
According to AAP sources, Kejriwal is planning to seek an appointment with Modi to discuss the issue.
Pertinently, the AAP protested outside Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan's house over the crisis on Tuesday.
With Delhi reeling under severe blackouts, Union Power Minister Piyush Goyal announced that the capital will get 400 megawatts of power byTuesday night.
Goyal held an emergency meeting with Delhi Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung and senior government officials on Tuesday to discuss the continuous, long hours of power cuts in the national capital.
"We will provide 400 megawatts of power to Delhi by tonight," said Goyal.
"The Congress and the AAP, which were in power before us and for longer time, did nothing to solve the problems of transmissions and distribution. And hence the people are suffering," he said.
He slammed former Delhi Chief Ministers Sheila Dikshit and ArvindKejriwal and said: "The previous government were insensitive to the needs of the people. They had no planning, they had no proper assessment of power loads to execute adequate transmission and distribution projects."
