Former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Monday said the people of Delhi were paying a heavy price because of the confrontationist attitude of Arvind Kejriwal.
Addressing a news conference here, she said, "People of Delhi are regretting as why did they make him the CM as he always says something and does something else".
She alleged Kejriwal always play the blame game by either trying to blame the lt Governor or the Police Commissioner or the central government. "Even I worked within such limitations and I never complained while making Delhi a world class city", she said.
The senior Congress leader alleged that development had come to a "standstill" and the Delhi Chief Minister was simply trying to wriggle out of the situation by trying to blame others when he should own the responsibility.
"This Government has not laid down a single new brick and has only been trying to take credit for what we did during the last 15 years", she said. Dikshit cautioned the people of Punjab not to get "deceived" by his promises which he never "fulfils".
"There is a huge gap between what he says and what he does", she said, while remarking, "he preaches something and practises something else".
She was accompanied by senior party leaders including former Punjab Chief Minister Rajinder Kaur Bhattal, ClP leader Charanjit Singh Channi and MlA Balbir Sidhu.
The former Delhi Chief Minister pointed out, that the Safai Karamcharis in Delhi are on strike for last six months as the AAP government is "not able to pay" their salaries, but the same (AAP) government has allocated Rs 520 crore for its publicity.
She said, compared to AAP government the Congress government on an average spent around Rs 25 crore per year on publicity.
Dikshit said there was unemployment everywhere and those working were not getting their wages like the safai karamcharis, but Kejriwal raised his and his MlAs' salary by 400 per cent
which was unprecedented and unheard in history.
