Kejriwal: Those who left AAP were opportunists

Monday, 21 January 2019 | PTI | BARNALA

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday hit out at those who recently left the party, calling them “opportunists” who were greedy for posts and tickets.

 Kejriwal, who launched his party’s campaign for upcoming Lok Sabha polls in Punjab by addressing a rally here, also attacked the Congress-led state government and said it had “betrayed” people as it failed to deliver on its poll promises.

Senior AAP leader and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and the entire state unit leadership, including Harpal Cheema and Aman Arora, also attended the rally.

“Some people left AAP few days back. Our political opponents started saying AAP has begun to disintegrate. Nobody in the country has the courage to disintegrate the party,” he said.

“Congress, Akali Dal and BJP have tried their best in the last five years to weaken the party but God has been with us,” the AAP national convenor said.

“Those who have left AAP were not worthy of staying in the party. They were opportunists and were greedy for tickets and posts. They tried to break the party. God wielded the broom and all bad persons are now out,” Kejriwal said.

Two rebel AAP leaders from Punjab -- Bholath MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira and Jaitu MLA Baldev Singh, besides senior lawyer H S Phoolka, have quit the party this month. Khaira was suspended from the party in November last for indulging in “anti-party activities”.

Kejriwal accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre of creating hurdles in development works in the national capital and trying to kill him.
