BJP has questioned social activist Anna Hazare's silnce over his protege Arvind Kejriwal's lust for power and the drama he enacted to retain his power as a dictator in Aam Aadmi Party.Tarun Chugh, national secretary of BJP today said Anna Hazare should make it clear whether Kejriwal's power-game has his approval and blessings. If he remains silent on the issue, it would be presumed that he approves Kejriwal's lust for power. If he is against all this, then he must come out in the open and share his thoughts on the murky episode scripted by none other than Kejriwal and executed by his core group.
Commenting on the way senior party leaders have been not only ousted but humiliated and manhandled, Chugh said that either of the two groups is wrong and Anna Hazare should make his stand clear with whom he stands on the issue.
Slamming Kejriwal for taking the people of country and especially Delhi for a ride by misleading and misguiding them and projecting himself as a 'new-age clean, transparent and honest politician', Chugh said Kejriwal has shown his true colours in just two months after acquiring unbridled power after AAP's historic win but the kind of politics displayed in the last month or so has exposed him and his coterie.Reacting on the abusive language used by Kejriwal during a telephone talk with a party volunteer, Chugh said it is exposed Kejriwal as a person. He said that whatever be the provocation, a chief minister of a state has never been caught on tape using abusive language against his own party's founder members who continue to be members of AAP even after their expulsion from the national executive of the party.
The BJP leader said that the whole episode has exposed the shallowness of Kejriwal who has always taken a high stand on moral issues and criticised politicians of playing dirty politics. He said that by doing so, AAP president has betrayed the mandate of Delhi people who voted AAP to power just because of each and every volunteer of the party. He said that this would certainly divide the party and start a debate on Kejriwal's honesty and kind of politics he is playing.Terming AAP as a group of Maoists and frustrated opportunists, Chugh said that Kejriwal has taken several u-turns since Aam Aadmi Party's win in Delhi elections and as the things are going, worst is yet to come.
