New Delhi: High drama was witnessed on Wednesday at the residence of chief minister Arvind Kejriwal as he refused to meet BJP Lok Sabha member from West Delhi Parvesh Verma and Rajouri Garden MLA Manjinder Singh Sirsa. Both the BJP leaders claimed that after being refused appointed for two days, Mr Kejriwal fled from his house after the two knocked the doors of his official residence in Civil Lines.
Delhi minister Mr Gopal Rai, who was present at the CM’s residence, was gheraod by Mr Verma and Mr Sirsa. But Mr Rai too left in his vehicle following which the agitated saffron leaders damaged earthen pitchers to register their protest. The two BJP leaders, who wanted to discuss the water crisis issue with the CM, were made to wait for about two hours before the officers told them that Mr Kejriwal had refused to meet them. Agitated over the CM’s behaviour, Mr Verma and Mr Sirsa told mediapersons that they were trying to meet Mr Kejriwal for the last two days but they were denied appointment on the ground that he was “very busy.” They said that the entire city was reeling under severe water crisis and as a last resort, both of them had decided to apprise the CM about the situation. They added that they were surprised to see that on a working day, the CM was enjoying a “holiday.”
