New Delhi:
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today did a U-turn on his controversial 10-month waiver to power subscribers in Delhi, saying the matter is still under consideration.
In a controversial move, the Delhi Chief Minister had on Friday announced exemption for people who had defaulted on their electricity bills and withdrawal of cases against those booked for power theft since March 23 last year.
Mr Kejriwal had made the announcement while launching his campaign against private power firms in the national capital who now face an audit by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India.
The opposition BJP had slammed his proposal, calling it anarchist.
"The move will spread anarchy," Harsh Vardhan, who was the BJP's chief ministerial candidate against Mr Kejriwal, said.
"What if we ask people not to pay their power bills?" Mr Vardhan said, adding, "Shouting slogans and governance are two different things."
