Following a major blow to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) with several of its Rajya Sabha MPs including Raghav Chadha, Sandeep Pathak, Ashok Mittal, and others distancing themselves from the party, Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva on Friday alleged that Arvind Kejriwal dragged his party into a mire of corruption by misusing power which resulted in the exodus.
Sharpening his attack on Kejriwal and his party, the Delhi BJP president said everyone is witness to how they ran a governance model of exploitation in the national capital for for 10 years to expand the party chief’s political base. For more than four years now, he alleged Kejriwal has not only been exploiting Punjab’s industry and farmers to fund political expansion in Gujarat and Goa but has also been pushing Punjab’s youth into drug addiction.
Perhaps troubled by this, seven of the influential Rajya Sabha MPs from Punjab and Delhi have announced their decision to leave the AAP on Friday which clearly reflected their inner conscience, said the Delhi BJP chief.
He further said that among those announced their resignation from the AAP, the party’s organization general secretary Sandeep Pathak’s resignation has shocked everyone across the country. According him, being the guardian of the party’s ideology, his resignation raises several questions, indicating that both the party and its convener, Kejriwal, have deviated from their ideological path.
