27 Dec 2013 4:28 AM IST
Amid indications from AAP that it may pursue alleged instances of corruption during Sheila Dikshit’s 15-year tenure in Delhi, Congress on Wednesday said it will not keep mum if the government which is to be led by Arvind Kejriwal resorts to any political witch-hunting.
‘We will definitely raise our voices if any party tries to settle its political vendetta and does something,’ Delhi Congress chief, Arvinder Singh Lovely, said.
Referring to AAP’s stand against corruption, Singh said it was the duty of every chief minister to fight corruption.
‘It is the duty of the chief minister and everybody concerned to fight corruption. When they take oath,
they also take an oath to fight corruption. It does not necessarily have to be mentioned in election manifestos,’ he said.
Meanwhile, reiterating that there was no change in the Congress stand of backing AAP in government formation, Singh said the party will only extend its support to the new dispensation in the Legislative Assembly.
