Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday held a ‘Janta Durbar’ outside his Kausambhi residence during which many people put forward their complaints relating to water and electricity.

Interacting with those present, Mr. Kejriwal said, “This is not my win, it is yours. I know that most of you have come here to congratulate me, but I would say this is your win.”

Lawyers, engineers and students were among those who participated in the durbar. Some of the people requested Mr. Kejriwal to take up security cover offered by Delhi Police.

“Arvindji, you have become our leader now. You should agree to take security cover being offered by Delhi Police,” said Mukesh, a resident of Allahabad.

Besides complaints regarding water and electricity, people also requested that AAP should form a team of lawyers to fight their cases free of cost.

“There are a lot of people who are not able to bear expenditure on legal cases. We demand that AAP should form a team of lawyers who would fight their case at free of cost,” said Prakash Singh, a lawyer by profession.

AAP volunteers, who came from Delhi, Rajasthan, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, and even one from Russia, participated in Mr. Kejriwal’s durbar.

Mr. Kejriwal said, “I have heard yours complaints and suggestions and I would definitely work on them. I invite you to participate in the swearing-in ceremony to be held in Ramlila Maidan on Saturday.”

The AAP convener had on Wednesday also held a Janta Durbar at his residence to listen to people’s grievances and suggestions.
