BJP has been shamelessly trying to form a government in Delhi through horsetrading : Aam Aadmi Party

The BJP has been shamelessly trying to form a government in Delhi through horsetrading since past many weeks and the Aam Aadmi Party by exposing the BJP’s unholy attempts has foiled its designs.

This has frustrated the BJP beyond any limit and the first clear sign of BJP’s frustration was its defamation notice to the AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal. (The BJP has never sent a defamation notice to Congress, which indulges in political mudslinging with it on a daily basis).

The BJP has followed it up by misusing the Delhi Police for implicating AAP leaders and volunteers in false cases. Three days back, two AAP volunteers Gaurav and Abid were picked up and brutally beaten by the Police, and they were asked to take names of senior party leaders.

On Friday, Police summoned two AAP employees Ram and Javed to Jamia Nagar Police station. Party’s Delhi unit secretary and spokesperson, Dilip Pandey was also summoned and all of them were made to sit in the Police Station throughout the day and their arrest was shown late at night.

Not only this, the Police has entered AAP offices without any search warrant and confiscated many laptops.

The Police charge is that these persons have been arrested because they are responsible for posters in some parts of the city which may disturb peace and harmony.

The AAP outrightly rejects the allegation and would like to set the record straight, which is as follows :

A resident of Okhla, Amanatullah, has given a written statement to the Police. In this statement, he has pointed out that through media reports he came to know some Congress MLAs, including three Muslim MLAs were going to support the BJP in government formation.

Amanatullah has stated that he is responsible for these posters and that he took help of some AAP volunteers in designing posters and got them pasted in the constituencies of these three MLAs. He has further stated the in the posters it was written that these MLAs have been offered Rs 20 crore each to support the BJP and therefore, people are requested to gherao their houses.

The Police found these posters to be provocative and which could disturb peace. Using this as an excuse, the Police has started detaining many AAP volunteers.

The AAP wants to make it clear that the party was not in any manner linked to these posters and does not approve of the language used in these posters. The Police is mischievously trying to drag the party’s name in this controversy and is forcing the arrested volunteers by beating them to take names of party leaders.

When Amantullah has owned the responsibility for these posters, why have Dilip Pandey and other volunteers been booked on flimsy grounds ? It appears to be the first case in the country, where somebody has been arrested since he was marked Cc in a mail.

The AAP will not be cowed down by such attempts and will continue to expose the BJP’s deeds. Misuse of Police and framing of AAP activists in false cases will not help the BJP at all, since the people will see through its tactics to divert attention from the failures of its government, which has resulted in the rise of prices of essential commodities and corruption.
