Media Eye News Bureau: Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal did an accounting of his pre-poll promises and the achievements of his government after completing three years in power and blamed what was unachieved or delayed on the centre and the lieutenant governor of Delhi.
At an event to mark the third anniversary of the Aam Aadmi Party government, the CM made an appeal to the central government, “Send us all to jail but clear our files.”
Kejriwal also triumphantly stated that his government was a survivor against all odds as he said, “Ab sarkar imaandar ho toh sab kuch ho sakta hai.”
Kejriwal accused the centre and the lieutenant governor of slowing the pace of work in the state. He said, “They have troubled us a lot. I challenge anyone with the kind of problems we faced to even try to routinely run the city. We have managed to achieve all these despite the huge odds. They stall all files. Some 400 files of the state were summoned by the LG’s office for scrutiny by a monitoring committee in 2016. They found nothing. All files were sent back. I challenge them, give us your files for four days and then we will show you.”
Speaking of the centre he said, “They carried out a CBI raid on my office and another raid at the house of Satyendar Jain. There are four cases against Manish Sisodia, there are around eight cases against Jain. Around 15 of our MLAs were put in jail, all on false charges. I only have one request: put us all in jail but don’t trouble the people of Delhi. All this is affecting development of Delhi. Please don’t stall the files.”
