Responding to allegations of government inaction in tackling issues faced by athletes in Delhi, AAP leader and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was again seen ‘upper’ authorities for the problems faced by the athletes.
The response from Kejriwal came after a backlash he faced from the athletes, and the video went viral.

However, he went on to blame the central authorities for stopping him from passing legislation and frame better policies, and has been ‘obstructed’ multiple times.
