New Delhi: Accusing AAP government of fooling the people of Delhi and dismissing its steps like free water supply as a "hoax", BJP today staged a sit-in at Rajghat to "expose" the ruling dispensation's alleged failure to fulfill it pre-poll promises.
As senior BJP leaders Harshvardhan, Vijay Goel, Vijendra Gupta and Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi challenged Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to take action against the former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and her council of ministers, a lot of eyeballs were caught by the saffron caps with the slogan "Modi for PM" worn by BJP workers at the event.

Senior leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqwi denied that BJP has taken any cue from AAP as far as the caps were concerned as saffron coloured caps have always been an integral part of BJP's campaign.
"We have not imitated any other party nor are the caps a patent right of anyone," he said.
Speaking at the event, former state BJP chief Vijendra Gupta said "why is Arvind Kejriwal silent against the top leaders of Congress? When bodies like Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) and the Lokayukta have given proof against Sheila Dikshit and Rajkumar Chouhan, what is stopping the so-called crusader against corruption from taking any action against them?"
Criticizing the free water supply announced by the AAP government, BJP claimed only 3 per cent of the population of Delhi has a water meter, which would be benefitted while the people belonging to unregularised colonies, slums, water-starved areas like Dwarka, Delhi Cannt and Group Housing societies would have to fend for themselves.
"The party that came to power by promising to curb price rise today is indulging in the same. After more than a week of the government formation, prices of gas, CNG, water, petrol and diesel were hiked," BJP leader Harshvardhan said.
