The BJP recently demanded Kejriwal to step down as Delhi’s CM while the Congress sought his apology regarding the alleged assault of Delhi Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash by two Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence.
Delhi CMO however denied the accusation while asserting that it is “bizarre and baseless.” AAP further accused Prakash of acting at “BJP’s behest.”
Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari took to Twitter and asserted, “Arvind Kejriwal and his Goon MLAs misbehaved and threatened the Chief secretary of NCT Delhi Government last night… another shameful act of @AamAadmiParty Goons… an act of Urban Naxalism… #UrbanNaxaliteKejriwal must Resign.”
Home Minister Rajnath Singh further said, “The MHA has sought a report on the incident from the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi. Justice will be done. A delegation of IAS DANICS and Subordinate Services of Delhi Government met me today and apprised me of the prevailing situation. I am deeply pained by the happenings involving the Chief Secretary of the Delhi Government. The civil servants should be allowed to work with dignity and without fear.”
Reacting to this, Ashish Khetan stated, “Sir, you have already pronounced the verdict by holding AAP guilty. Then whats the point of ordering inquiry? You should have first ascertained full facts through an independent & credible process. Sad to see that you couldn’t rise above party politics.”
BJP leader Sambit Patra also tweeted, “We condemn the way how Mr. Arvind Kejriwal, his party members behaved in the CM’s residence with the Chief Secretary of Delhi.”
Delhi Congress president Ajay Maken also expressed his sentiments as he tweeted, “Kejriwal should apologise for this hooliganism which took place before him-AAP Govt is unable to deliver-Beating of Chief Secretary by MLAs in front of CM is another low and is aimed to divert attention from Govt failures! AAP does not know Governance and has failed miserably (sic).”
