BJP has stooped to dirty politics in fear of losing elections: AAP

New Delhi: The AAP on Wednesday accused the BJP-led Centre for temporarily suspending its free pilgrimage package scheme, saying "rarely" has a party stooped to such "dirty politics" in fear of losing elections.

There is no big festival or natural calamity at this time. Hence, "We are unable to understand why such a sudden decision was taken by the Centre to divert all our trains", senior AAP leader Gopal Rai said. He claimed the Centre's decision shows that the BJP has turned to desperate measures in fear of losing the Delhi assembly elections.

"The BJP shall have to face the curse of thousands of senior citizens, and this will become one of the reasons for its defeat in the upcoming elections," Rai said.

"Rarely in the history of this country has any party stooped to such dirty politics in fear of losing elections," he said.
