Ms Atishi, MLA, Delhi Legislative Assembly addressed the UN General Assembly and highlights the achievements of the Delhi Government in striking the balance of egalitarian development keeping in mind the factors of sustainability and fiscal prudence.

The MLA highlighted how, in the last seven years, the Delhi Government has turned this conventional wisdom on its head based on its honest and committed work.

She further said," In the last seven years, the Delhi Government now has 24/7 electricity, some of the lowest electricity tariffs in the country. 4 million households get a zero electricity bill.
