By December-January it will be operational in East Delhi, if it isn't nulled-and-voided by L-G Q. How are you trying to use the youth power for your government? None of us were from politics.

What are your ideas for waste management in Delhi? We can do so many things to fix this, we hope to be able to address this better when we take over the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. It will take 1-1.5 year, but we will clean up Delhi. Q. You say the Centre and PM interferes in your work, why don't you do a referendum in Delhi and place the results in front of the PM?

Yatin Oza, a lawyer from Gujarat is considered close to BJP chief Amit Shah. He wrote a letter about a meeting between Akbaruddin Owaisi and Amit Shah Q.

People are suffering because of their revenge Q. We are very concerned about education in Punjab, will you do here what you have done in Delhi? A. Yes, it can be done. We will do it together. Q. There is no freedom to raise questions in Gujarat. Will you contest here? (Brijesh from Ahmedabad) A. I went to Gujarat on invitation of traders from Surat, but Gujarat government threatened the traders. There is a culture of oppression in Gujarat, they told me many of them have been charged with sedition. As far as AAP contesting is concerned, it is not AAP but it is people who fight, if they decide to, we are with them. Q. I have complained for months about the water pipeline in our area but nothing has happened. The entire road is dug up we are facing problems- Ranjeet Mathur, Tughlaqabad A- I'll send some officer tomorrow. Q. What was the need of increasing salaries of legislators? A- We have a zero tolerance policy to corruption. There used to be a culture of working without salary but they took money from everywhere else. We wanted to stop it. An MLA used to Rs. 12,000 as salary, we have increased to Rs. 50,000 is that too much? If we don't you'd be forcing them to resort to corruption Q- Why did you appoint Parliamentary secretary? A- We have appointed one secretary Praveen Kumar to check what is happening in schools. He goes on rounds to check, but we have not given him in anything return. We gave him the rank to give an authenticity so he could go into schools. For Office of Profit, there needs to be a pecuniary gain, which is not there. Vishal Dadlani - the moderator of the session - asks questions Q- At one end you say Modi ji is not letting you work, but you put crores of ads to say what you are doing in Delhi Arvind Kejriwal: Not 536 crore, we have spent Rs. 75 crore on ads in the entire last one year. If they had not created this India-Pakistan-like situation in Delhi, we could have done four times more Q- So why do we spend money on ads in other states? Because the whole the country wants to know what is happening in Delhi. Look at the coverage of TV channels - they also focus on Delhi. When so much work is happening in Delhi, should I not tell people to come and invest, engage in Delhi?
