Congress leaders staged a protest on Wednesday against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for its failure to provide 24 hours water and electricity supply in Delhi.

Congress leaders slammed the government for making false promises to the people.

"BJP made false promises of bringing good days. They are not providing us proper supply of water and electricity, therefore we want this government to fall," said a protesting Congress leader.

Another leader from the Mundka Vidhan Sabha said that under the leadership of Amarinder Singh Lovely, they will do a sit in outside Union Power Minister, Piyush Goyal's house.

Comparing Congress and BJP, the protesters appreciated the former's governance saying that

 

"Congress worked hard for 15 years to provide proper water and electricity supply to people but BJP ruined everything within 15 days," said a protester.

The protesters also demanded reduction in power bills saying that the reason behind the protest was that under BJP's rule people are not getting power for seven to eight hours, which was not the case when Congress was in power.
