Arvind Kejriwal calls BJP, Congress 'dharna parties'

New Delhi, May 24: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday hit out at the BJP and Congress terming them as "dharna parties" with no governance agenda.

The CM's remarks came after BJP and Congress activists staged a protest outside his residence over alleged water and power crisis in the national capital.

"BJP n Cong both have become dharna parties wid no governance agenda,(sic)," the Delhi Chief Minister tweeted.

Attacking the Chief Minister, Delhi BJP chief Satish Upadhyay alleged while the city was facing severe water and power crisis, the CM was busy fulfilling his political ambitions in Goa and Punjab.

Holding pots in their hands, the Delhi Mahila Congress workers raised slogans against Kejriwal.

"Water and power is unavailable even for two days at a stretch. The Delhi chief minister should be ashamed of this. He (Kejriwal) should think of the national capital rather than thinking of Goa and Punjab. He has spent only on his advertisements," Delhi Mahila Congress president Barkha Shukla Singh said.
