Aam aadmi party attacks the bjp over power crisis in delhi

Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Saturday attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the power crisis that has hit the capital in peak summer, saying it

was answerable for the situation. "Major power cuts all across Delhi. BJP needs to explain and take immediate action," AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal tweeted. > Major power cuts all

 across delhi. BJP needs to explain and take > immediate action. > — Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) June 7, 2014 Mocking the BJP, AAP's Ashutosh raised the issue of consistent

power cuts in Delhi with temperatures touching 45 degree Celsius. "_Achche din aa gaye _major power cut in Delhi when temperature is touching 45," he said on the microblogging

website Twitter. > Achche din aa Gaye , major power cut in Delhi when temperature is > touching 45 . > — ashutosh (@ashutosh83B) June 7, 2014 Many areas of the national capital are

facing massive load-shedding, stretching to over two hours every day. Lt Governor Najeeb Jung on Friday had said that many areas of the city may continue to face planned blackouts for a few

more days as repairs to the power towers and lines which were damaged in the storm that hit the city last week are taking time. "Before the storm struck, we were generating about

5,000MW of electricity, which was reduced to 1,000MW (due to the storm). You can imagine what we went through, worried that the entire city will be plunged into darkness. "We are now

producing 4,600-4,700MW. The problem is that some big towers and lines fell in the storm and repairing them would take some time. Due to rising temperatures, the demand for power has shot up

to 6,000MW, which we (cannot meet). So, there could be blackouts for another three to four days to cope with the crisis," Jung had said. The storm on May 30, which was accompanied by

winds at speeds of over 90-kmph, plunged most areas of the city into darkness as uprooted trees snapped power lines.
