 "AAP opposes non-allocation of power subsidy in Delhi's interim Budget")
Opposing the Centre's move of not granting power subsidies in Delhi's interim Budget, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Saturday termed the move as a "betrayal" of public's trust.
The AAP said it had made provisions for providing subsidies till September before resigning.
"When the preparations for the interim Budget had started, the AAP government had made a provision for this relief to continue and the power department was ready with its proposal. The Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government's decision to reverse this pro-people measure is a betrayal of the trust of the Delhi people," the party said.

Coming down hard on AAP’s Arvind Kejriwal for ordering a First Information Report against him and others for raising gas prices, Petroleum Minister M Veerappa Moily said the former Delhi Chief Minister didn’t understand fundamental laws. "The allegation against me is against the cabinet. It was its decision, and not a personal one.”
