Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sinha on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, claiming that the AAP chief brought in an "era of fraudism" in Delhi.
"If anyone has brought the era of fraudism, then his name is Arvind Kejriwal. He does not believe in the constitution nor does he believe in constitutional institutions," Bihar Deputy CM said. Adding that Kejriwal flip-flops between "arrogance" and "discrediting constitutional institutions." Deputy CM Sinha said, "When this person (Arvind Kejriwal) wins the election. So he will sing his celebratory song in his arrogance. When he loses, he will stigmatize and discredit the constitutional institution and such people are not friendly to the nation. Punjab is an example of this." His remarks come amidst Kejriwal's alleging on February 4 that the Election Commission and the Delhi Police are supporting hooliganism against AAP and protecting the BJP's wrongdoing. Kejriwal took to social media to express his outrage, stating that the ECI and Delhi Police are working together to disrupt the electoral process and favour the BJP and claimed that their primary focus is to engage in hooliganism, protect the interests of BJP and distribute liquor and money. Meanwhile, voting in the Delhi Assembly elections concluded on Wednesday at 6 pm in all 11 districts of the National Capital Territory. The Bihar Deputy CM also hit out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, while Gandhi is on a visit to Patna. Deputy CM Sinha claimed that just like Congress is being "wiped out" from the country, they will be defeated in the upcoming Bihar assembly election too. "Today was Rahul Gandhi's visit. They (Congress) are being wiped from all over the country. In Bihar too, they are afraid...they discredited the word Bihari and abused the word Bihari with the same group of people. They cannot provoke the people of Bihar," Sinha said. During his visit to Patna, Gandhi accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of tokenism in Dalit representation. He claimed that while Dalits are being given representation, they are being denied any real power in decision-making processes. "In India's power structure today, whether it is education, health, corporate, business, judiciary, how much is your participation?... Dalits have been given representation but it means nothing if there is no participation in the power structure. Making you sit on the stage has no meaning if the decisions are made from behind the stage. Today, it has become a fashion to give tickets to people from different castes, PM Modi also did this," Rahul Gandhi said during his programme in Patna, on the occasion of Jaglal Choudhary Jayanti. But then, you (PM Modi) snatched the powers of the MLAs. Even the Lok Sabha MPs have no power to make any decisions. You made ministers but the Officer on Special Duty (OSD) is from Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). The question is about control and participation...," the Congress leader added. (ANI)
