India, New Delhi: In a video message posted on facebook Arvind asked the people of Delhi to wage a war on mosquitoes. He asked for a joint fight against mosquito menace and diseases like Chikungunya and Dengue..

In a video message issued after his throat surgery in Bengaluru, a tired looking Kejriwal speaking with some difficulty asked the people and political parties to come together to declare a war on mosquitoes.

The video immediately after the release went viral on facebook and twitter.

 “No purpose will be served by blaming MCD for the lapses in fogging. It is now everybody’s duty. Civic bodies, the Delhi government and the central government, all should do it jointly. Said Arvind in the video

Mosquitoes, "do not differentiate between the Congress and BJP people".

if Delhi could implement the odd-even scheme, it can fight the mosquito menace also, Said Arvind.

The Delhi health minister Satyendar Jain has been told to buy as many fogging machines as were needed in the next two or three days, Said Arvind

He said he had told Jain to "start a war-like campaign against mosquitoes for one-and-a-half months".

He said every second day there should be fogging in every street and every locality in the capital to get rid of the mosquitoes.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader said everyone should join the campaign against mosquitoes like during "the India-Pakistan cricket match when all Indians unite", said further Arvind Kejriwal
