Delhi needs administration, not anarchy, says BJP

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday criticized Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal for continuing to make objectionable statements despite repeated warnings by the Election Commission (EC), terming the former chief minister as an 'anarchist', adding that the people of Delhi deserved 'administration'.

"In spite of the fact that the Election Commission has been issuing notice after notice to Arvind Kejriwal, he has been sidestepping those notices and not answering in a satisfactory way.. this is anarchy," BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said.

"Instead of repenting, Arvind Kejriwal went ahead and committed the same mistake again. A mistake which is committed again is not a mistake but a deliberate move, this kind of deliberate move by Arvind Kejriwal is what we call anarchy. Delhi does not want anarchy; it wants administration," he added.

On Friday, the Election Commission had issued a notice against Arvind Kejriwal for violating the Model Code of Conduct by making false allegations against Delhi BJP chief Satish Upadhyay. This followed an earlier notice sent by the EC for his 'bribe' remarks.

Kejriwal had reportedly made the same statement again even after the notice was served.
