Delhi Congress on Sunday demanded the resignation of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over the charges of corruption levelled by Kapil Mishra who was a Minister in the Delhi Government till Saturday evening.
Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken said AAP has “lost its anti- corruption plank.” Maken said allegations against Kejriwal as “very serious” in nature and should be investigated by the CBI and the Anti-Corruption Branch.
“Kejriwal should step down as he has no moral right to continue as Chief Minister in the wake of the allegations by Mishra”, Maken said while addressing the media.
A day after being dropped as a Minister, AAP MlA Mishra levelled stunning allegations of corruption against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Health Minister Satyendar Jain.
“The CBI should register cases regarding Mishra’s allegation that he saw Kejriwal receiving Rs2 crore from his Health Minister Satyendar Jain, and also with regard to the findings of Shungulu Committee report,” Maken said.
“The Aam Admi Party (AAP) which was formed on anti-corruption plank has lost it in the wake of Mishra’s allegations against the Chief Minister, and the Shungulu Committee report that has put his Government under the dock for various irregularities,” he said.
Maken added the Delhi Congress will launch a campaign to collect 10 lakh signatures from people supporting the demand for Kejriwal’s resignation.
Meanwhile, Youth Congress workers on Sunday demonstrated outside the residence of Kejriwal over the corruption allegations.
