In a scathing attack on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva on Wednesday claimed that the people of the national capital have witnessed how the previous Arvind Kejriwal government deprived the city of development and instead used the city’s resources to build its own political base.
He accused the previous AAP government of squandering Rs 6,500 crore meant for cleaning River Yamuna and more than Rs 25,000 crore from the Delhi Jal Board and said no one knows where the money went.
Sachdeva alleged that instead of focusing on Delhi’s development, Kejirwal used these financial resources to expand his political ambitions in other states, but now, from Punjab to Goa, he is being exposed everywhere, claimed the BJP leader.
In response to a statement of AAP’s Delhi unit president Saurabh Bharadwaj, Sachdeva said it would be better if the AAP leader abandoned the politics of deceit and played the role of a constructive Opposition, else his party would soon lose its political ground in the city.
The Delhi BJP chief also claimed that people of the city are now aware of how AAP leaders illegally created voter registrations by showing makeshift homes along footpaths in several areas, and how they had allegedly registered 60–70 voters in one or two-room flats in certain areas.
The BJP had lodged complaints about these irregularities with the Election Commission and had also released videos exposing them, Sachdeva claimed.
