Senior BJP leader from Delhi Harsh Vardhan accused the AAP Government in Delhi headed by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of doing nothing and said its survival was deeply rooted in lies.Addressing a Press conference in Bangalore on Saturday, he said, “AAP is rooted in lies and it is doing nothing except “insulting” the Constitution and “misleading” the people”.
“People, especially in Delhi, are beginning to understand AAP’s conduct. They have been exposed before the country because they have failed to fulfil their promises of bringing transparency and rooting out corruption,” he said.
For specific questions on Kejriwal “evading” answers under RTI, Vardhan said it is unfortunate that an important RTI activist himself is refusing to answer queries on Government’s expenses on certain constructions. “If somebody wants to know how much has been spent on sprucing up the bungalow, why is this Government refusing to give answersIJ The country wants to know,” Vardhan added.
He was refereeing to the RTI query related to the amount the Delhi Government spent on the swearing-in ceremony at Ramlila Maidan and on the sprucing up of Bhagwan Das Road residence allocated to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
Meanwhile, the BJP was critical of the AAP for its stand on passing of Jan lokpal and called the AAP a drama company. BJP spokesperson Meenakshi lekhi told the media that the AAP has become a drama company “for its stand over passing of Jan lokpal Bill in the Delhi Assembly.
She said, “When they (Arvind Kejriwal and others) had not formed the party, they sat with Arun Jaitley and Sushma Swaraj to incorporate their suggestions in the Jan lokpal Bill. Now they have started a new drama. They belong to a drama company. “Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has threatened to “go to any extent” on the issue of Jan lokpal Bill.
lekhi who has been calling the AAP as the plan B of the Congress alleged the AAP always comes to the rescue of the Congress by diverting issues whenever the national party is in trouble.
“let me give an example. When people wanted to know the reason behind Union Minister Shashi Tharoor’s wife Sunanda Pushkar’s death, AAP leaders went on a dharna, demanding action against policemen who refused to carry out a raid on an alleged drug and prostitution ring on a Delhi Minister’s directive recently,” she said.
