New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Gaurav Bhatia on Thursday said that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who has been arrested in connection with an excise policy-linked money laundering case, should resign from the post as he “cannot run the government from the lock up”.
Bhatia told ANI that Kejriwal should resign on moral grounds. He accused the AAP leader of duplicity in words and actions.
“There are 1.5 crore people in the city and they are the responsibility of the Chief Minister of the elected government. If you cannot give any orders from jail, then how will you serve the public? Arvind Kejriwal cheats everyone,” Bhatia said.
The BJP spokesperson further came down heavily on Kejriwal and said that the AAP supremo does exactly the opposite of what he promises.
“Whatever he has said till now, has done the opposite in public life,” he said, adding, “He should resign on moral grounds. Arvind Kejriwal came from the movement which was taken out against corruption and he himself had called Sharad Pawar, Lalu Prasad Yadav and even Sonia Gandhi a corrupt. Today, he (Kejriwal) has compromised with them. If he has even an iota of morality left in him, he should resign,” Bhatia added.
The probe agency had arrested Kejriwal on March 21 in connection with excise policy-linked money laundering case.
