CCTV issue: Kejriwal, AAP MLAs to walk to LG House

As the issue snowballed into yet another confrontation between the AAP government and the LG, Kejriwal had on Friday also sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi's intervention in the execution of the CCTV project saying it was related to women safety and should be above politics.

"I have written a letter to the LG and asked him to meet us at 3 pm on Monday. In the letter, I have also written to allot us any other time on Monday if he is busy at that time," Sisodia told media at his residence here.

"For three years when we were working on this project, the LG was silent. Suddenly now when the tender has been allotted he sees loophole in the system. The Chief Minister along with all Delhi Ministers and AAP MLAs will walk to LG house to discuss the issue," he added.

The Deputy CM stated that in his letter, he asked the LG to meet representatives of the government on Monday.

"The stalling of CCTV project has created uproar in public. We will come at 3 PM on Monday to discuss the issue with you. If the time is not suitable to you, you can tell us an alternative time on that day," Sisodia wrote in the letter.

On Tuesday, Baijal formed a committee to come up with a standard operating procedure for the installation, operation and monitoring of closed-circuit televisions.

Kejriwal had alleged on Friday that the only aim of setting up the committee was to interrupt government work and not let the CCTVs be installed.

Setting up CCTVs was a key poll promise of the AAP.
