Soon after the BJP released a charge sheet against the AAP govt, former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal hit back at the saffron party and asked what have they done for the national capital. Stating that the law and order situation in Delhi has collapsed, Kejriwal said the BJP has not done any work and now it has come ti fight elections and is issuing a chargesheet against him.
Countering the allegations of the BJP in the change sheet, Kejriwal on Monday asked, “What has the BJP done for the people of Delhi? Nothing.” “Their only manifesto is to abuse me,” he added.
“They have no team, narrative, vision for Delhi. They don’t even have a chief minister’s face,” the party convenor said.
Kejriwal said the BJP has no agenda to contest elections and should tell the people of Delhi what they have done for Delhi in five years.
The former chief minister said the Aam Aadmi Party has done a lot of work for Delhiites in terms of electricity, water, women’s travel, roads and many other things. What work have these people done?” Kejriwal asked.
Earlier in the day, senior BJP leader Anurag Thakur issued a “chargesheet” against AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, accusing him of turning Delhi into a “corruption lab” through a series of “scams”.
No immediate reaction was available from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) over the allegations of the BJP leader. Ahead of the Delhi Assembly polls, the state unit of the BJP has formed a “chargesheet committee” that has so far issued detailed reports listing the alleged failures of the ruling AAP MLAs.
“What kind of a party is this which came to power promising to give corruption-free government but was involved in eight to nine scams related to the liquor policy, Delhi Jal Board, DTC, Waqf Board,” Thakur charged.
“Ghotale Pe Ghotala, Kejriwal Ne Banaya Delhi Ko Bhrashtachar Ki Prayogshala” (Kejriwal turned Delhi into a laboratory of corruption with scams), Thakur gave the slogan and asserted that the BJP will remove the AAP from power in Delhi.
The elections for the 70-member Delhi Assembly are due to be held in February next year. The former Union minister also targeted the AAP and Kejriwal over education and health, alleging it failed to open new Mohalla Clinics and hospitals and did not use the Centre’s funds to boost the city’s healthcare infrastructure.
He charged that the smog tower in Connaught Place, which was supposed to provide relief from air pollution, was lying defunct although the AAP government spent crores of rupees on advertisement. He cited water shortage, lack of sanitation, damaged roads, and other issues to corner the ruling AAP.
