Kejriwal plays petty politics, can't govern: BJP
New Delhi, June 12
The BJP on Friday said Delhi
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal doesn't know how to govern and is only
interested in petty politics.
Satish Upadhyay, president of the
party's Delhi unit, said the central government has given funds to the
Delhi government to pay the salaries of the sanitation workers, who are
on a strike over its non-payment. Consequently, huge piles of garbage
have been dumped on many roads in east Delhi, causing immense discomfort
to citizens.
"The central government has already given you
money. Stop dragging Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi into it... stop
playing petty politics," Upadhyay said at a press conference here.
The
Bharatiya Janata Party leader said that Kejriwal was not serious about
solving problems of the people and that he was interested in blame game
only.
"You (Kejriwal) don't know how to govern. You have been busy fighting ever since you took over (as chief minister)," he said.
Earlier
in the day, the ruling Aam Aadmi Party said that BJP was politicising
the issue of the striking sanitation workers as it was the BJP which
rules the civic bodies in the city.
The Congress has accused both
the AAP and the BJP for the mess in Delhi with party vice president
Rahul Gandhi extending full support to the workers.
