Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday criticised Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal saying the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has "betrayed" the people by nominating "two businessmen" for the Rajya Sabha polls, while the Congress claimed that one of them was offered a seat way back in November 2017.
Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari said the announcement of the AAP's Rajya Sabha candidates belied its anti-corruption plank based on which it had stormed to power in Delhi.
Delhi Congress president Ajay Maken claimed that Sushil Gupta came to him to tender his resignation and told him beforehand that he had been promised a Rajya Sabha berth by the AAP.
"On 28th Nov, Sushil Gupta came to submit his resignation — I asked him-'Why'IJ 'I have been promised Rajya Sabha (seat)'— was his reply," Maken said in a tweet.
