Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal and Delhi Chief Minister Atishi Singh on Thursday inspected roads in the Capital city with the former telling citizens that works of public welfare "stalled by the BJP" will be resumed and all damaged roads in the city will be repaired.
Kejriwal and Atishi Singh inspected the roads in the city and later, speaking to newspersons, the former Delhi CM said, "I want to assure the people of Delhi that I have come back and the stalled works will be resumed. All their problems will be solved."
Asked if he would be taking on a more active role in the city, Kejriwal said "We are in action mode round the clock. I was in action mode even in jail."
Senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia and local MLA Dilip Pandey also accompanied Kejriwal and Atishi during their inspection of a road in the Delhi University (DU) area.
The former Delhi chief minister claimed that he was sent to jail because the BJP's target was to defame the AAP government in Delhi by stalling work for the people.
Continuing in that vein, Kejriwal alleged he had "Met their big leader. I asked what did you get with my arrest? I was shocked and felt sad to hear him say that at least the Delhi government got derailed and the city was stalled," PTI reported.
"Their" aim was to "defame" the AAP government by stalling work in Delhi, he alleged while asserting that the AAP and its government would not let people's works get stalled.
Kejriwal was lodged in Tihar jail for five months in an excise policy case and was released earlier this month after being granted bail by the Supreme Court.
He stepped down as Delhi chief minister last week, saying he would return to the post after getting a "certificate of honesty" from the people of Delhi in the Assembly polls in February.
