The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday cornered the AAP after party leader Ashutosh voiced his support for sacked Delhi Minister Sandeep Kumar and wondered whether action would now be initiated against the former. The BJP leader and leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly, Vijendra Gupta said that AAP leader Ashutosh has denigrated women publicly on his blog by defending the deviant Minister. “Without knowing the woman’s side of story, he has gone on to declare Sandeep Kumar as innocent and a victim of politics,” said Gupta, adding the AAP has become a party of sex scandal.
Delhi BJP president Satish Upadhyay, however, welcomed the AAP’s move to suspend Kumar from the party. “It means that the party has agreed to the fact that there is no moral left in Sandeep Kumar. Now, the big question is that their senior party member Ashutosh is justifying and supporting Sandeep Kumar,” he said. “We would like to ask Sisodia as to what he would like to say on Ashutosh. Will they (AAP) suspend Ashutosh alsoIJ” Upadhyay asked.
