Delhi BJP staged dharna at Rajghat to expose AAP-Cong alliance’s failure to fulfill promises

The Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party today staged a dharna at Rajghat to expose the doublespeak of AAP government which has failed to fulfill its promises and is now resorting to various gimmicks to divert the attention from real issues including corruption and price rise. The dharna was held at Rajghat as this is the first place visited by Arvind Kejriwal after taking oath for the post of chief minister. This dharna is a reminder to him of the ‘false promises’ he made.

The BJP workers gathered in large numbers at the Rajghat today to participate in dharna. They were wearing saffron caps with the slogan “Modi for PM” and held placards reminding Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his ministerial colleagues to fulfil the promises which were made to the people. Those who participated the dharna included Prof. Vijay Kumar Malhotra, former Delhi BJP Presidents Shri Mange Ram Garg and Shri Vijender Gupta.

Addressing the gathering senior BJP leader Shri Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said, “The AAP is a proxy of the Congress. The alliance between these parties to form government in Delhi is a telling evidence of opportunism. AAP leaders has refused to take action against Congress ministers and former Chief Minister in lieu of the support to form the government. Why a single complaint has not been filed against even a single Congress leader so far by the Delhi Chief Minister and his other colleagues?”

“Today we are wearing the saffron cap with slogan ‘Modi for PM’ to send a message that BJP with support of the people is committed to make Shri Narendra Modi the PM of the country. Saffron is a colour of sacrifice and struggle for the good of the society and that is what BJP stands for,” said Delhi BJP President Shri Vijay Goel while addressing the dharna.

“The AAP has taken anti-national stand by supporting referendum in Kashmir and making baseless allegations about Batla House encounter. It has taken a communal stand by seeking support from leaders like Maulana Tauqeer Raza. In Delhi, it has not given benefit of power tariff reduction to all sections, water tariff has been hiked by 10%, there is no roll back of CNG and LPG prices which have skyrocketed,” he added.

“In fact the AAP indulging in gimmicks rather than making a serious difference at the ground level. In last 10 days, how many big fish including Congress leaders have been charged for corruption? Instead of streamlining the administration, the AAP is trying to create parallel administration of its volunteers to run schools, hospitals and other institutions. It is interfering with independence of judiciary and its ministers are behaving arrogantly. This is in stark contrast to the promises of simplicity and honesty,” he added.

“AAP is shying away from targeting Congress leaders as it has formed government with their support. Now it is asking BJP to provide proof for the corruption done by Congress leaders while the Chief Minister himself had earlier claimed to have been ready with 370 page chargesheet against the then Congress Chief Minister Shile Dikshit,” said leader of opposition in Delhi Assembly,” Dr. Harsha Vardhan
