It all started with a news report which quoted Tiwari saying the BJP will give five times more subsidy in power and water tariffs to the residents of Delhi if the government is elected to power. The Delhi Chief Minister questioned the claims and asked whether the party will provide 1000 units of free electricity and provide one lakh litres of free water. CM Kejriwal went on to add that the party is trying to mock the citizens and questioned whether the party has been able to implement such policies in other States where it has formed the government.
