The BJP on Friday reacted sharply to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s scathing attack on Prime Minister Modi over the recently enacted GNCTD Amendment Act, saying “corruption, inaction, and nepotism” of his government will pave the way for its exit in 2025.
Kejriwal had earlier in the Delhi Assembly claimed the BJP will lose all seven Lok Sabha seats in the city.
Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva challenged Kejriwal to call a session of the Assembly for a debate to compare development works done by his government and the Modi government in Delhi.
Since the 2020 elections, the people of Delhi have seen the real face of Kejriwal through communalism, inaction, corruption, and nepotism, and they will shunt him out of power in 2025,” Sachdeva said.
He also said the AAP national convener was deficient in playing the victim card and diverting issues.
“Kejriwal masters the art of playing the victim card for political benefit. Time and again, people in Delhi have seen that whenever the issue of corruption and nepotism in his governance becomes a topic of discussion, he tries to raise the issue of power and the rights of his government to divert public attention,” Sachdeva charged.
The BJP leader also referred to the CM’s reconstructed official residence in Delhi as ‘Sheeshmahal’ alleging it to have been renovated with public money.
He said the appointment of AAP supporters as fellows and advisors in his government was a proof of Kejriwal’s “nepotism.” A total 437 persons engaged as advisors, fellows, and specialists by the Kejriwal government were recently discontinued by the Services Department on the directions of Delhi LG VK Saxena.
