Shanti Bhushan hits out at Kejriwal again

Notwithstanding AAP’s stupendous victory in the Delhi Assembly polls, the party’s founder- member Shanti Bhushan on Wednesday attacked Arvind Kejriwal yet again, accusing him of accepting “tainted” money and giving tickets to candidates who were prepared to buy votes.

He also alleged that the AAP chief had “abandoned” all principles of inner party democracy and asked the party to “apply course correction” and come back to the path of clean politics.

“He gave a large number of tickets to people who had amassed a lot of wealth by questionable means and were prepared to buy votes by distributing money and liquor,” Bhushan wrote in a blog. “He (Kejriwal) also accepted tainted money and abandoned all principles of inner party democracy,” Bhushan said. Later, he told reporters that he was not happy with the party’s spectacular win in the elections, saying the electorate did not apply their mind to the allegations. “It is important for the party to apply course correction and come back to the path of totally clean politics which people believe it continues to stand for,” Bhushan said.
