Union Commerce Minister and Delhi BJP Election Committee head Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday said that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has violated rules by making illegal appointments at the Officer on Special Duty (OSD) level.
While giving the reference of the Shunglu Committee, Sitharaman said that the report has proved that the Kejriwal Government has taken all power in his hands. However, the lieutenant-Governor is the administrative head. “From illegal appointment to house allotment, the AAP Government has violated all the rules,” said the Minister.
Meanwhile the Delhi State BJP President Manoj Tiwari has demanded the resignation of Arvind Kejriwal for irregularities and nepotism in making appointments and abuse of power.
Referring to the Shunglu Committee report that Tiwari said that Kejriwal the findings of Committee which inquired into the working of Delhi Government are too grave. “The report totally reflects corruption, nepotism, misuse and overreach of authority to use fruits of power for political growth and survival by pleasing MlAs party volunteers and
the foreign trips were misused for raising party funds,” he said.
He further said that had such a report come against any other Chief Minister, his party would have replaced him but Kejriwal does not believe in such moral values. “The Delhi BJP is examining the constitutional provisions in such a matter but I personally feel l-G of Delhi should censure the Kejriwal Government over findings of Shunglu Committee,” he further added.
leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Vijdendra Gupta said that Kejriwal and his Ministers took foreign trips for personal work on public fund.
