The recent infighting in the Aam Aadmi Party and the absence of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has affected government work, Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia told NDTV on Saturday.
"Arvind gives me a call once a day to check on things. Two things happened simultaneously - crisis in the party and Arvind's absence - both have impacted... I try to ensure things are in place," Mr Sisodia told NDTV after presenting his report card on completing one month in office.
Mr Sisodia, however, added that the real report card will be presented once Mr Kejriwal is back from Bengaluru where he is undergoing naturopathy treatment. Mr Kejriwal returns to Delhi on Monday.
Taking on the critics who call him the chief minister's "Yes Man", he said, "Arvind and I often have differences but we prefer to settle those behind closed doors."
Speaking about the Lokpal Bill, the deputy chief minister told NDTV that it will be brought after the Budget session. He also added that marshals in buses from 6 pm to midnight will be implemented soon for women's safety.
