Kejriwal to visit slums from next week on doorstep delivery of ration issue

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today announced that he would visit slums from next week, along with his MLAs, to tell the people that the BJP was scuttling through Lt. Governor Anil Baijal a scheme for doorstep delivery of ration.

Hitting out at the Lt. Governor, Kejriwal said that he even didn't show the courtesy of calling him over clarification before turning down the proposal for doorstep delivery of ration.

Participating in a discussion on the Delhi Budget in the Assembly, Kejriwal charged that most of BJP and Congress leaders were running ration shops and that was why they were opposing the doorstep delivery proposal.

"I will go door-to-door in jhuggis (slum areas) and tell people how BJP is stopping the Delhi government's doorstep delivery proposal through the Lt Governor," Kejriwal said.

Later, on being asked whether the government will approach the court over the proposal after the L-G's rejection, the chief minister said, "We will go to the court of people."
