The BJP on Saturday alleged Aam Admi Party (AAP) for siding with the "black money hoarders" after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal claimed that demonetisation of high currency notes was a "huge scam".
"Allegations of Arvind Kejriwal are not taken seriously by anybody today because he does not owe any responsibility to people to offer any proof for probe of these allegations," BJP spokesperson GVl Narasimha Rao said.
"Every allegation made (by Kejriwal) today is completely baseless," he said, adding Kejriwal, who claims that he is against corruption and black money hoarders, has shifted to the "other side".
"Kejriwal is standing today with the black money hoarders," he charged.
Rao regretted that Delhi Chief Minister was criticising a move which had largely been hailed as a "reform and a frontal attack on corruption and black money," he said.
"Arvind Kejriwal and his Aaam Aadmi Party also seem to have become a victim of the surgical strike (on corruption and black money)," Rao said in a subtle dig at the party. Rao also alleged that Kejriwal and his Aam Aadmi Party had "stopped" giving information about the people who are donating money for their party, adding that, "it has gone completely off their website.”
Responding to Kejriwal's allegation that demonetization was a "major scam", the BJP spokesperson hit back saying , "Kejriwal does not have anything to substantiate...He is not only crying about loss of his public image because of his own undoing but also crying a lot about political and financial bankruptcy as a result of the reform measures."
