Dragging PM Modi in Kejriwal-Jung tussle 'meaningless': BJP

20 May 2015 Evaluate

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said it was meaningless to drag Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the ongoing dispute between Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung.

BJP spokesperson M J Akbar said that dragging the PM into the dispute is absolutely meaningless. Making irrelevant charges of this kind is yet another way of trying to camouflage the fact that the Delhi Government under Arvind Kejriwal has lost the plot. They have no idea of their responsibilities and he added that Kejriwal wants to politicise everything into some form of dispute. The Chief Minister would be advised to keep his own house in order, rather than pointing a meaningless finger on others.

Earlier, Kejriwal, in a letter to PM, had asked him to let the Delhi Government work independently under the Constitution. He had also accused the Centre of ruling Delhi through the Lieutenant Governor and also met senior bureaucrats at the Delhi Secretariat today with his deputy Manish Sisodia. Both Jung and Kejriwal took the matter to President Pranab Mukherjee yesterday. Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh is expected to meet the President today.
