Delhi Oppn leader Vijender Gupta, who is on hunger strike, writes to CM asking him to look beyond ‘political interests’
Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Manoj Tiwari on Sunday slammed Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for "spreading lies" against Lieutenant Governor (L-G) Anil Baijal that he was present at the NITI Aayog meeting. He also hit out at Chief Ministers of West Bengal, Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh for becoming party to the "political stunt" by their Delhi counterpart.
"Being the CM of Delhi, Kejriwal should have attended the NITI Aayog meeting and explained his problems to the Prime Minister who was also present there. Instead, he is busy indulging in useless political acts. There is enough fear among the bureaucrats after the assault on the chief secretary. The Aam Aadmi Party government is behaving like naxals," the Delhi MP lashed out at Kejriwal.
Tiwari also claimed that Arvind Kejriwal was trying to form "an anti-Modi, anti-BJP" front as a runup to the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. "It was unfortunate to see Mamata Banerjee who has been ruling her own state with an iron fist, coming to the rescue of "democracy". He also said that his party was amused at seeing the four CMs playing their characters in the "drama" scripted by Aam Aadmi Party chief. West Bengal Chief Minister Minsiter Banerjee, her Kerala counterpart Pinarayi Vijayan, Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu tried to meet Kejriwal at the L-G office, where he is sitting on an indefinite dharna, along with some his Cabinet colleagues. They were, however, denied the permission.
Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta, who is sitting on an indefinite hunger strike at the chief minister's office in the Delhi Secretariat, wrote an "open letter" to Kejriwal, asking him to look beyond "political interests" and resume work, along with his ministers.
"The (press) conference held by the chief ministers of four states in your favour ends all doubts of your dharna being nothing more than a political stunt to rally together an anti-BJP, anti-Modi front before the elections next year," Gupta wrote in the letter.
