‘Will get it cleaned’: Kejriwal pledges to resolve Delhi’s sewerage issues if AAP wins 2025 polls | India News

NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal pledged on Saturday to prioritise resolving all sewerage issues in Delhi if his party returns to power in the forthcoming Assembly elections.
Through a video address, the former Delhi chief minister emphasised the infrastructural improvements made by the AAP administration in the city’s unauthorised settlements, noting substantial advancements in establishing essential facilities in these localities.
“When our government was formed for the first time in 2015, we had to solve one of the biggest problems of sewerage. There are 1792 Kachchi colonies in Delhi. Before our government was formed, before 2015, no kind of development was allowed in these slum colonies. We started working in all the slum colonies. There was no sewer pipeline in these slum colonies,” he said.

Kejriwal noted that numerous areas in the city are experiencing problems with sewage contaminating the drinking water supply.
“After the formation of the government, we will very soon replace the sewer pipelines in your area too. We will get the sewer cleaned so that you can get rid of the dirt from the sewer,” he said.
The Delhi Assembly election for its 70 seats is set for February 5, with vote counting scheduled for February 8. AAP seeks its third consecutive term, following its victory of 62 seats in the 2020 elections.
