New Delhi: The Congress leader Ajay Makn in an scathing attack on Aam Aadmi Party National convenor on Monday accused him of being an “anti-national” for promoting pro-Khalistan forces in Punjab.
Speaking with the media, Ajay Makan stated, “I have said this before and I am saying it now that Kejriwal is an anti-national. His coming to power in Delhi or anywhere else is ‘deshdroh’. We should be careful of such a person. I and Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa told in detail the reasons we called him anti-national. We also gave the proof for the same in a press conference. We feel sad when we see that Kejriwal is promoting the pro-Khalistan forces in Punjab. That is why we come forward and say that he is doing anti-national work and it is not only we who are saying this.”
He was referring to their presser, where he and former Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Randhawa accused AAP of taking money from an extremist ahead of the Punjab assembly elections.
Meanwhile, Maken expressed that the people of Delhi suffered a loss as Congress extended outside support to AAP in 2013. He said that AAP coming to power in the national capital led to an immediate stop of the development works being carried out under Sheila Dikshit’s government.
“This is my personal opinion that the people of Delhi suffered a loss because we extended outside support to AAP in 2013. This immediately stopped the development, which was being carried out under Sheila Dikshit’s government. Our capital expenditure was reduced. Buses reduced. The number of students in Delhi’s government schools has reduced,” Maken said.
When asked about the allegations made by Kejriwal regarding his party’s “collaboration” with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Maken refuted the claims and said that the weakening of Congress in Delhi only benefits the BJP in elections to Lok Sabha. He said that the BJP remains beneficiary of Kejriwal being in power in Delhi.
“This is wrong. Why would the BJP do this? BJP at the national level is the biggest beneficiary of Kejriwal being in power in Delhi,” Maken said, adding, “If you weaken Congress in Delhi by making it a third party, BJP tends to benefit in Lok Sabha elections. If we had a tacit understanding, the BJP would never want Congress to be strong in Delhi because as soon as Congress becomes strong in Delhi, the BJP cannot win seven seats in Lok Sabha elections,” Maken said.
