New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party MP Anurag Thakur on Wednesday lashes out at Aam Aadmi Party National convener Arvind Keijriwal for trying to enter Rajya Sabha through backdoor after losing Delhi Assembly polls.
Speaking with the media Anurag Thakur said, “All I would like to say is that the 14 CAG reports were stopped from being tabled in Vidhan Sabha. AAP and Arvind Kejriwal intended to see that their corruption is not revealed to the world and is not discussed. Now, this has come before the world and has been tabled in the Delhi Assembly. PM Modi had said that we will table the report once we come to power (in Delhi) and CM Rekha Gupta has done this. Now, it is clear that the kingpin of the liquor scam is Arvind Kejriwal. To save face, he is making his Rajya Sabha MPs vacate their houses and attempting to enter Rajya Sabha through the backdoor.”
He further said that the Punjab Government runs through “remote control.”
“So, I would like to ask the people of Punjab – do you want Arvind Kejriwal, who runs the State Government through remote control, as an MP from Punjab?” he added
The speculation began after the Aam Aadmi Party’s nomination of Rajya Sabha MP Sanjiv Arora as the candidate for the Ludhiana West assembly by-election. It was speculated that the RS seat held by Sanjiv Arora would go to the AAP convenor.
