The Delhi BJP on Thursday used the accusations levelled by Aam Aadmi Party MlA Vinod Kumar Binny to attack Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi Government charging it with compromising with corruption and duping the people of Delhi. The Opposition party also demanded immediate suspension of law Minister Somnath Bharti arguing that a person who has been indicted for breaking laws cannot be the law Minister himself. Delhi BJP president Vijay Goel claimed the way AAP has been functioning as the ‘B-team’ of Congress was further confirmed by Binny.
Commenting on Binny’s allegation that Kejriwal shares a ‘close friendship’ with Congress MP Sandeep Dikshit, Goel said his (Kejriwal’s) association with Sandeep Dikshit is proved by the fact that they have not even ordered an inquiry against the previous Sheila Dikshit Government in serious charges of corruption like the Commonwealth Games scam, leave alone acting on them.
“Today their own MlA has proved that they take decisions behind closed doors. Four or five people finalised tickets for Assembly elections and they are finalising lok Sabha tickets also. They duped people in the name of signature campaign, referendums as if everything is done after consulting them,” Goel said.
Demanding immediate suspension of Somnath Bharti, Goel said if he is not sacked by January 26, BJP will launch an indefinite protest against him. Goel said he has also written to the Bar Council of Delhi urging it to revoke Bharti’s practicing licence.
Referring to the gang-rape of the Danish woman on Tuesday, senior leader Arti Mehra said, “I want to ask Arvind Kejriwal who used to talk so much about women security in the city, where is that sensitivity after coming to powerIJ” Former Delhi BJP president, Vijender Gupta also took a swipe at Kejriwal’s comment that Congress is nowhere in the picture and the next general election will be fought between BJP and AAP. “Yes, Congress is not any where. It is with them,”
he said.
