00:00 According to recent reports, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has purportedly issued his

00:07 first directive from his confinement in Enforcement Directorate custody.

00:12 The order, emanating from a case linked to the excise policy, pertains to the Water Department

00:17 of Delhi Government.

00:20 Sources from the Aam Aadmi Party disclosed that Water Minister Atesh Shree will officially

00:24 announce the directives later today.

00:26 Atesh Shree, the leader of the Delhi Cabinet, revealed that Arvind Kejriwal instructed her

00:30 to address water and sewer-related issues in certain areas of the city.

00:34 She expressed profound emotions, noting that Kejriwal's concern for the welfare of Delhi's

00:39 residents despite his own plight brought tears to her eyes.

00:43 Furthermore, Kejriwal directed for the deployment of sufficient water tankers in areas facing

00:47 scarcity to bolster supply in anticipation of the impending summer months.

00:52 Atesh Shree also disclosed that Kejriwal suggested seeking assistance from Lt. Gov. V.K.

00:57 Saxena if necessary, expressing confidence that he would provide full support.

01:02 Kejriwal has unequivocally stated his intention not to resign from the Chief Minister's serial

01:06 post and has asserted his determination to continue governing Delhi from his current

01:10 confinement in jail.

01:12 Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Maan in a press conference also said that no provision in

01:16 the constitution prohibits an incumbent CM from running a government.

01:19 Maan said AAP would approach the court for permission to set up an office in jail so

01:23 that Kejriwal can run the Delhi government.

01:26 On Saturday, Sunita Kejriwal read out her husband Arvind's message through a video

01:30 link that stated, "He cannot be kept behind bars for long and will return soon to fulfil

01:35 his promises to the people."

01:36 However, the Bharatiya Chandra Party has slammed Kejriwal's continuation as CM of Delhi despite

01:41 being under arrest.

01:42 Arvind Kejriwal's arrest on March 21 by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with

01:46 the defunct excise policy case has stirred controversy.

01:50 According to ED officials, the Awadmi Party is perpetually the prime beneficiary of the

01:54 proceeds of crime stemming from the alleged liquor scam.

01:57 Notably, senior AAP leaders Manish Sesodia and Satyendra Jain were arrested by the ED

02:02 last year in connection with the same case.

02:04 On Friday, the Rao's Avenue Court extended Kejriwal's custody to six days of ED custody

02:09 in the liquor policy case up until March 28.

02:12 The ongoing legal proceedings have heightened tensions, raising questions about the alleged

02:16 involvement of AAP members in the scandal and prompting further scrutiny into the matter.
