Kejriwal launches round-the-clock clean water supply in Delhi’s Rajinder Nagar — AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal drinks water from a tab during the commencement of drinking water supply to the houses 24 hours a day, in Rajinder Nagar Assembly constituency in New Delhi.

New Delhi: Ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections, AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday launched round-the-clock water supply in Pandav Nagar DDA flats in the Rajinder Nagar area here.

“When we came to power 10 years ago in Delhi, around 50-60 per cent of water was supplied by tankers. There used to be tanker mafia. I am happy to say that today, after 10 years, 97 per cent of Delhi gets water by pipeline,” the former Chief Minister said.

The AAP chief was accompanied by Delhi Chief Minister Atishi and local MLA Durgesh Pathak. The AAP has fielded Pathak from Rajinder Nagar constituency for the Delhi assembly elections slated for February next year.
