Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today again came under attack in Lok Sabha on the odd-even issue, with a BJP member accusing him of spreading "anarchy" in the national capital by deliberately delaying decisions on key issues.
Raising the issue during zero hour, Ramesh Bidhuri accused Kejriwal of doing "drama" for the sake of politics and not being bothered about the growing pollution in Delhi and growing congestion on the roads.
Alleging that the Chief Minister has been delaying the fourth phase of the Metro rail which should have started in January, Bidhuri said that Kejriwal was delaying decision on certain key files that would facilitate smooth traffic in South Delhi and adjoining areas.
Suggesting that the Chief Minister was deliberately delaying decisions on certain issue, he wanted the Centre to act unilaterally in the interest of people of Delhi. "It should do something against the Chief Minister", he said amid support from his party colleagues.
