‘They’ll Turn Delhi Into UP’: Atishi Alleges Power Cuts After BJP’s Election Win

‘They’ll Turn Delhi Into UP’: Atishi, the outgoing chief minister for Delhi, on Thursday accused the BJP of having several complaints registered for power cuts in the city since winning the assembly elections.

Atishi alleged that within three days of the AAP losing power in Delhi, over 40 outages were reported from different areas of the city, and people have started buying inverters.

She also alleged that the BJP does not know how to rule and that it will make Delhi suffer such long power cuts just like Uttar Pradesh, another BJP-ruled state.

“In the last three days, I have received several complaints about power cuts in Delhi. Does this indicate the collapse of the power sector within just three days? It clearly shows that under Arvind Kejriwal’s government, the AAP administration was closely monitoring and supervising the electricity infrastructure on a day-to-day basis," Atishi said, according to PTI.

"And now, as soon as AAP's government has been removed, governance has failed, and the power sector has collapsed within just three days,” she added.

It has not yet been declared that the party will form a government in Delhi. A few names in circulation for the chief ministership include Parvesh Verma, who defeated former CM Arvind Kejriwal from New Delhi, Shalimar Bagh MLA Rekha Gupta, Shikha Roy (Greater Kailash), Vijender Gupta (Rohini), Satish Upadhyay (Malviya Nagar), Ashish Sood (Janakpuri), Pawan Sharma (Uttam Nagar), Kapil Mishra (Karawal Nagar), and Abhay Verma (Laxmi Nagar), among others.
