Attacking Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over providing water subsidy in Delhi, BJP leader Arun Jaitley today said by doing so, the AAP government is looking at "short term gains" and creating debts for tomorrow while ignoring the weakest sections of society.

"The more you subsidise, the more you will have to eventually raise the taxes. Through subsidisation a government thinks of the short term gains. It leaves a debt for tomorrow .A subsidy may prove counter-productive for the more vulnerable sections," he said in an article.
