BJP poses five queries to Kejriwal, AAP says party panicking
New Delhi, Jan 29
The BJP Thursday asked AAP
chief Arvind Kejriwal why he took support from the Congress to form a
government and why did he seek facilities after rejecting them first,
but the AAP termed the queries "old and boring" and claimed the party
was "panicking".
Questions about the Congress support and
facilites were among the five the Bharatitya Janata Party plans to put
before Kejriwal everyday in the run-up to the Delhi assembly elections
Feb 7.
BJP leader Rajiv Pratap Rudy said his party will ask
Kejriwal five questions every day till Feb 5, starting with the Aam
Aadmi Party's decision to join hands with the Congress to form the
government in Delhi.
"Where were his moralities when he joined
hands with the Congress to come to power in Delhi?" Rudy said, putting
out first of the five questions.
And why there was no case
registered against former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit whom the
AAP accused of corruption, Rudy asked.
Kejriwal was also asked to
explain why he took police security after denying it initially, and why
his government asked for SUVs.
"How come comforts of life have caught on him so heavily, people of Delhi would like to have an answer," Rudy said.
Mentioning
that Kejriwal criticised politicians flying in chartered planes during
the Lok Sabha polls, Rudy asked why did the AAP chief himself take a
chartered plane on his way from Gujarat.
"We are asking these
questions because this identity of a common man he (Kejriwal) created
for himself is based on lies," he said.
Reacting to Rudy's "old and boring" questions, the AAP said the BJP was panicking.
AAP
leader Yogendra Yadav said he was amazed that the BJP has same "old and
boring" set of questions and was "making a mountain out of a mole
hill".
"Just want to tell the BJP that they can ask us 50, not
five questions, but at least they should come up with a new set of
questions. It shows that they are nervous and scared," Yadav said.
Same
questions have repeatedly been asked and we have already answered them,
he said, adding that it clearly shows that "panic has set in the BJP".
