AAP accuses BJP of conspiring to topple Kejriwal Government by imposition of President’s rule

Wednesday, 11 September 2024 | Staff Reporter | New Delhi

AAP and BJP are at loggerheads a day after President's secretariat forwarded a memorandum by BJP MLAs that Delhi was facing a constitutional crisis to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) with the former accusing the BJP of conspiring to topple the Kejriwal government through "back door" by imposition of the President's rule in Delhi on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta alleged that the AAP government has no right to remain in power and demanded that the Kejriwal government must respond to the issues raised in the memorandum he submitted to the President Droupadi Murmu on August 30.

"Kejriwal has refused to resign, which is creating an unprecedented situation that has led to a complete breakdown of governance in Delhi. Critical administrative decisions are being delayed and essential services are severely affected, directly impacting the lives of Delhi's citizens,” he said.

Gupta added that the AAP government has repeatedly violated constitutional norms. “Due to these violations, the AAP government has no right to remain in power, and thus, we have requested the President to immediately dismiss this government,” he asserted.

Meanwhile, Senior AAP leader and Delhi Minister Atishi claimed, “If the Kejriwal government is toppled, the Delhiites will give a befitting reply by giving zero seats to the BJP in the upcoming assembly polls and the AAP will win all the 70 seats.”

Atishi said the BJP's only job is to topple the elected governments in the country through its "Operation Lotus" as happened in Maharashtra, Karnataka and Manipur.

"They also tried Operation Lotus in Delhi to topple the government by poaching the AAP MLAs, but they failed. Now, they are conspiring to impose the President's Rule through the back door to topple the popular government of Arvind Kejriwal in Delhi," she alleged.

Atishi said that people of Delhi "love" Kejriwal because he provided them good schools, hospitals, electric buses, free bus travel to women and free pilgrimage to the elderly."If the BJP topples the Kejriwal government, the people of Delhi will give it a befitting reply. The BJP will lose even the eight seats it holds now and will be reduced to zero in the upcoming assembly polls and the AAP will win all the 70 seats," she said.

The elections to the 70 seats of the Delhi Assembly are due early next year.
