On Monday, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) released an ‘Aarop Patra’ against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Chief Arvind Kejriwal and his government in Delhi.
BJP leaders, including MP Anurag Thakur and Delhi BJP Chief Virendra Sachdeva, were present for the release.
Anurag Thakur criticized the AAP government for failing to fulfill key promises made to the people of Delhi. He stated that despite pledging to make Delhi’s schools world-class, over 200,000 students remain deprived of education.
Additionally, Thakur noted that the government also promised 24/7 clean and free water, yet thousands of families now have to buy water from tankers. Additionally, they promised free clinics and large hospitals in Delhi, but now 70 percent of patients must seek treatment in private hospitals.
“The AQI level once crossed 1200 and is still above 500. They promised to make Delhi corruption-free, but eight ministers, one MP, and 15 MLAs from their party have already been to jail,” he added.
Thakur slammed the Kejriwal government for the ongoing pollution of the Yamuna, stating, “Ten years have passed, but has the Yamuna been cleaned? Delhi’s AQI went above 500, and the Yamuna remains heavily polluted—thank you, Kejriwal government. In return, the people of Delhi have been deprived of even basic access to water. The Prime Minister’s Jal Jeevan Mission ensured water supply for everyone, but Kejriwal blocked its implementation here.”
The BJP MP further added, “We need to save Delhi from Kejriwal’s corruption and pollution. I appeal to Kejriwal to take a dip in the Yamuna because if it is not clean by 2025, we will hold him accountable.”
Anurag Thakur Slams AAP Government Over Alleged Scams & Corruption
Further attacking the AAP government, Thakur listed several alleged scams, including the water board, classroom, mohalla clinic, and liquor scams, among others.
He said, “The water board scam, the classroom scam, the Mohalla Clinic scam, the Waqf Board scam, the liquor scam, DTC scandals, and so on. What kind of government is this? We will work to save Delhi. Kejriwal is a friend of the corrupt and a criminal of Delhi. We will not forgive him but will clean up the mess he has made.”
“This is the only government where the health minister, deputy CM, and CM were all in jail. This was not a government for the people but a government for the jail,” Thakur further added.
In the 2020 Delhi Assembly elections, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) emerged victorious with 62 out of 70 seats, while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured just eight. The next Delhi Assembly elections will likely to take place in early 2025.
