The Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi completes one year in power today. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his ministers will hold a public interaction session today. The ministers will answer phone calls from people, take their feedback and offer them a report card of the AAP government.
There will be a three tier medical system across Delhi. There will be Mohalla (neighbourhood) Clinics in each locality. These clinics will be well equipped so that people have facilities available at their doorstep: Arvind Kejriwal
The health department has also done a brilliant job. We have made medicines free in the government hospitals. We held a video conference with 3000 doctors across the country and came to the conclusion that we can give medicines free in all government hospitals: Arvind Kejriwal
We will not allow quota admissions in Delhi schools: Arvind Kejriwal
We are building 8000 new classrooms in schools. 1100 government schools will be revamped, PWD has informed us that there are 40 to 50 students in each classroom: Arvind Kejriwal
The basic infrastructure in our education institutions needs to be improved and Deputy CM is working on it. He ensures that he holds inspections of two schools on a daily basis: Arvind Kejriwal
One of our poll promises was to subsidise electricity bills. Today only two states in India have cheaper electricity than Delhi: Arvind Kejriwal
Pending water bills - till 30th November, 2015 will be waived off. For A and B categories - 25%, C - 50%, and D - 75% of pending water bills till 30th November 2015 will be waived off: Arvind Kejriwal
We are hopeful to win the case in Supreme Court and electricity prices will further come down after CAG audit: Arvind Kejriwal
We were hopeful that irregularities by discom companies will come into view after CAG audit. We have filed an appeal in the Supreme Court: Arvind Kejriwal

We stand firm on our commitment for cheap water. We have been working on this: Arvind Kejriwal

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal has reached the NDMC Convention Centre in Connaught Place, where the public interaction event is being held.
The Aam Aadmi Party's public interaction session, which was to start at 11 am has been delayed as Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is yet to arrive at the venue.
In the afternoon, the government will inaugurate 20 Aam Aadmi polyclinics which will have out-patient departments for various specialities.
The chief minister had earlier said his cabinet will give an account of work done in one year to the people of Delhi. He has reportedly ordered various departments to give details of their work. On completing 100 days in office, the AAP government had held a similar exercise, comparing its achievements with that of the Narendra Modi government.

The public interaction session will be conducted from the NDMC Convention Centre in Connaught Place.
February 14 was the date Mr Kejriwal chose for his swearing in last year after winning the Delhi election. It was exactly a year to the day he had quit as Chief Minister after a 49 day-stint in power - a move for which he was derided by rivals and excoriated by critics.
AAP sources say the concept may have been inspired by the Hindi film "Nayak", where a journalist turned chief minister takes phone calls at a public platform while his PA jots down instructions on the spot.
For One Year Anniversary, Arvind Kejriwal And Cabinet To Take Your CallsInstead of mega celebrations across the city, the Aam Aadmi Party is prepping for a public interaction session and a Q&A session. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has reportedly ordered various departments to give details of their work in the past year.
The ministers will answer phone calls from people, take their feedback and offer them a report card of the AAP government.
