Kejriwal's not-so-free water

This refers to the report, “Too much info, Kejriwal ill”. His free water announcement has come with a rider - but only for households with meter, and for slums that do not have meters. He should have made it clear about his strategy to provide 700 litres of free water per household, when he was canvassing for Delhi assembly elections. He did not do this. He has cleverly increased the water tariff by 10 per cent for all, which will lead to increase in household monthly budget. Those consuming more water than the free water quota of 700 litres per month, even by a litre will be required to pay the full bill amount. Voters have been clearly taken for a royal ride in Delhi, by the AAP. Where from the free water will come? He has already broken his promise, by taking the support of Congress, for forming the government. Communism seems to be on the revival in Delhi.  Who will bear the subsidies? The tactics to woo voters are same, but the players are different. Kejriwal is no different, from any other politician.
