BJP seeks CM Arvind Kejriwal’s resignation over city’s water woes

The protesters, carrying pitchers and bottles of dirty water, marched from IGI stadium to the secretariat and raised slogans against the government.  “A large number of people in Delhi are getting supply of dirty and contaminated water that is causing illness,” Verma said.

BJPvice president and in-charge of state unit Baijayant Panda, state chief Adesh Gupta and Leader of Opposition in Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri also took part in the protest.
