Not Rs. 91000, Kejriwal’s electricity bill is Rs. 15000

The Delhi government specified that, "electricity bill of Rs. 91000, is inclusive of electricity charges at the camp office and various other facilities installed for visitors at the complex," countering the BJP, who raised this allegation.

It was known that BJP officials alleged that, the AAP officials are misusing the public money by unnecessarily wasting the electricity and that is the result of Rs.91000 as the bill.   

But Kejriwal government clearly said that, “Rs.91000 is inclusive of other electricity charges at the camp office and his personal monthly electricity bill is around Rs. 15,000.”

Giving more clarity on the bill, the government said that, Delhi Chief Minister’s house was divided two units using separate power connections. One of these two units is Kejriwal’s private residence.
   
After moving into the house in February, Kejriwal spent Rs. 17,000 in March, Rs. 7,370 in April and Rs. 22,690 in May, the reports stated.

 

Kejriwal's part of the house is allocated to perform official works and other meetings with the public. So this part of the house gave a Rs.15175 bill in March, Rs. 48, 630 in April and the May bill is yet to be paid, says a  statement.    

"300 people come to meet him every day. Is he expected to make people sit in that hall in such scorching heat and humidity?" questioned AAP leader Jarnail Singh.

Instead of trying to corner AAP government in every single issue, it would be better if the BJP officials compete with AAP’s popularity in Delhi, through working for the welfare of the city residents.
