BJP slams Delhi CM as ‘biggest liar’ amidst Congress, AAP seat-sharing talks

Union Minister Anurag Thakur on Sunday hit out at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for allying with Congress, a party against whom he raised corruption charges and vowed to never form an alliance with them.
Calling Kejriwal the “biggest liar”, Thakur said that those who had taken a ‘Sankalp’ that they won’t ally with Congress are now walking with them.
“Those who had taken a ‘Sankalp’ that they won’t come into politics and join hands with Congress are now walking with them. This is how Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal is, the biggest liar among politicians,” Anurag Thakur told reporters on Sunday.
He further said, “Many of his party leaders are in jail, so now he has decided to form an alliance with another corrupt party.”
This comes as both parties on Saturday closed their seat-sharing negotiations for Delhi Lok Sabha seats on a 4:3 formula.
As part of the agreement reached between the ruling party in Delhi and the grand old party, Congress will contest 3 of the 7 Lok Sabha seats in the national capital while the AAP will field candidates in the remaining 4 constituencies.
“The people of Delhi defeated the 15-year-old Sheila Dixit government and gave a mandate to Arvind Kejriwal. He was not given a mandate to compromise with Congress. But we all knew that this would happen one day. And today, it is out in the open. I welcome this alliance because this gives the people of Delhi an opportunity to open their eyes and see that there is no difference between AAP and Congress,” said Arvind Kejriwal.
