He assured that if AAP comes to power after the upcoming elections, the incorrect bills will be waived.
'People call it 'Ashirwad': Arvind Kejriwal
In response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks about the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi, Kejriwal on Friday defended his government's work in the capital, calling it a "blessing" rather than a crisis.
"The work AAP is doing is not a crisis; people consider it a blessing," Kejriwal stated during a press conference.
He countered Modi's comments, asserting that the real crisis lies within the BJP.
"The crisis is not in Delhi; it's within the BJP," Kejriwal said, identifying three key issues the BJP faces: the lack of a chief ministerial candidate, absence of a clear narrative, and no agenda for the upcoming election.
Earlier, Prime Minister Modi criticised the AAP government, accusing it of damaging Delhi's school education over the past decade.
PM Modi also attacked Kejriwal, claiming that Delhi has been facing an "Aapda" (crisis) due to AAP's leadership, which he attributed to a few dishonest individuals led by Anna Hazare.
