Following special permission from the Rouse Avenue court, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has allocated Rs 7 crore from the MLA Local Area Development fund for various development projects in the New Delhi assembly constituency.

According to a statement from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the funds will be used for approximately 50 different development works. These projects include setting up a library, installing CCTV cameras, and providing indoor and outdoor gym equipment and streetlights. Additionally, the funds will be used for laying drainage systems and repairing roads in the constituency.

Despite being in judicial custody over allegations related to the Delhi excise policy, Kejriwal's decision to release the funds comes in response to continuous demands from his constituency for essential development work. AAP stated that Kejriwal sought court permission to ensure the completion of these pending projects, reflecting his commitment to addressing the needs of his constituents.
