The North-West Delhi MP, who was supposed to preside over the event but arrived for it an hour late, also accused AAP of insulting him by going ahead with the event in his absence and putting his name below that of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on the inauguration stone.
"Chief Minister should explain to his party supporters the difference between a government and a political event. Since they have politicised the event, why should I take part in it. They are running an anarchist government," he said.
"I they should have been welcomed me like a guest. Guests are not insulted like this. My name is also inscribed in small fonts below Kejriwal and others' names. It should have been at the top," the MP said.
The plant and an underground reservoir was commissioned by Kejriwal at an event which was also attended by his deputy Manish Sisodia, Delhi Jal Board CEO Vijay Kumar and Bawana and Narela MLAs, respectively, Ved Prakash and Sharad Kumar.
"People are accusing me of not visiting their damaged farmlands. But I want to ask them whether Kejriwal has visited their fields? They do not know how to maintain decorum," he said.
