BJP says AAP govt violated statute, must be dismissed

On the eve of first anniversary of the AAP government in Delhi, the BJP gave “zero” marks to it terming the first year of AAP government as “year of confrontations”, and demanded to “dismiss” the Arvind Kejriwal dispensation for “violations of the Constitution”.

A day before the AAP government completes one year in office, Delhi BJP president Satish Upadhyay said the state unit will observe “Protest Day” on Sunday.

Addressing a press conference here, the Opposition leader in the Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta and South Delhi MP Ramesh Bidhuri demanded that the Centre “dismiss” the AAP government.

Mr Gupta referred to a list of 52 notifications released by the Delhi government and claimed these were in “violation of the Constitution and laid down rules”.

“The Central government should not overlook the violations of the Constitution. I will soon meet Union home minister Rajnath Singh and apprise him of major instances of violation of the Constitution, laws and rules by the AAP government,” Mr Gupta told reporters.

Mr Bidhuri said the Centre should “dismiss” the city government. The Arvind Kejriwal government will complete one year in office on Sunday. The government has issued phone numbers through which the chief minister and his Cabinet colleagues will interact with the people.

“The party will hold a protest at Jantar Mantar against the completion of one year of the AAP government which has failed to fulfil its promises made during the Assembly elections. Mr Kejriwal is a dream merchant as he has failed to deliver on his poll promises made to the masses.”

“We will stage protests in different areas against the government till February 28,” Mr Updhyay said here. He further stated that the party has analysed the Kejriwal government’s performance on the basis of our in-house yet independent survey.
