New Delhi: Ahead of the May 25 polls on seven Lok Sabha seats in the national capital, Delhi BJP on Friday issued a “charge sheet” against its INDIA bloc rivals AAP and Congress, listing alleged scams and corruption involving the two parties that ruled the city for last more than two decades.
Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva alongwith other party leaders released the 40-page Hindi and English booklet titled “Congress and AAP- Partners in Loot”, at the party office. No immediate reaction was available from the AAP or Congress on the allegations.
“For the first 15 years, the Congress, and now in the last 9 years, the Delhi govt (run by AAP) has inflicted harm on the people of Delhi,” the charge sheet read charged.It is unfortunate that the Aam Aadmi Party, born out of anti-corruption movement, has its senior leadership in jail or facing charges of corruption, it said.
Sachdeva said there was a long trail of scams of AAP government in Delhi related to excise policy, health, education, panic buttons in the buses, Delhi Jal Board among others. He also slammed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over alleged assault on AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal by his close aide Bibhav Kumar. “We believe Bibhav Kumar may get shelter in Punjab,” Sachdeva said and demanded the Delhi Police take action in the matter. Vijender Gupta, BJP MLA and chairman of the “charge sheet committee,” claimed that the document was completely based on “facts.”
