BJP seeks Kejriwal’s resignation — AAP minister sting
On paper, there is very little difference between the scheme implemented in January and the one that will be put in place in April.

The first phase of the odd-even rule was implemented on a trial basis in the national capital from January 1 -15, 2016. Subsequently, through emails, missed calls and online forms, the government sought suggestions from the public about the scheme.
