Terming the demand of full Statehood to Delhi by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal as "political brinkmanship", leader of Opposition (lOP) in the Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta said that if Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was serious on this matter, he would have raised this issue in the Parliament through his Member of Parliament (MP).
Attacking on the AAP Government, he said Kejriwal's real intent behind bringing it up on completion of three years and four months is to divert public attention from his miss-governance, incompetence and failures.
On Assembly's resolution on full Statehood status in the, Gupta said he (Kejriwal) has laid foundation for building the large structure of falsehood, lies and deceit for the remaining period of his rule.
"The CM has failed to do what he could do with the given power. After all the system is working well for many years," he said.
It may be noted that the MlAs in opposition were marshaled out from the Assembly on raising the issues of corruption in DJB and Jan lokpal Bill.
Carrying the placards and banners, Gupta with other MlAs in Opposition sat outside Kejriwal's residence in Vidhan Sabha.
The leader of Opposition has demanded White Paper on the functioning of Delhi Jal Board to bring forth true picture of unprecedented water crises, corruption and failure to implement schemes.
Condemning the CM for raining the issue of CBI raids on account of DJB matters, Gupta said Kejriwal is trying to cover-up corruption in Jal Board.
Gupta said, "Asian Development Bank approved Rs 2,200 crore projects of water improvement pertaining to Wazirabad water treatment plant. Japan International Co-operation Agency also approved Rs 2,000 crore projects of water improvement pertaining to Chandrawal water treatment plant." "But the Government failed to implement both and Delhi government could not set up 14 decentralized sewage treatment plants for which 50 percent funds were provided by Central Government," the BJP leader said.
