Arvind Kejriwal saying ‘not a single piece of paper brought to LG’s notice, officially or unofficially’ with regard the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government's ‘Water Scheme’. In a 7-page letter LG Saxena said, “Water, Finance, Urban Development, all departments concerned with this scheme are fully and totally under CM’s control. LG has no role whatsoever.
Not a single piece of paper brought to LG’s notice, officially or unofficially in this regard."
