New Delhi: A delegation of Delhi BJP MLAs met Union home minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday and demanded the dismissal of the Kejriwal government for its alleged misgovernance and corruption.

The delegation, headed by Leader of the Opposition Vijender Gupta, also demanded arrest of health minister Satyendar Jain, who has been facing allegations of corruption and irregularities.

“The delegation told the home minister about the collapse of administration and development in Delhi due to corruption, incompetence, inaction and irregularities at the top level in the Kejriwal government,” said Mr Gupta.

Mr Gupta alleged that contrary to the AAP government had complained that its officers were not cooperating with it, but the truth was the officers were feeling highly demoralised because of pressures and misbehaviour.

“The unavailability of medicines in Delhi government hospitals was also raised during the meeting,” added Mr Gupta.

The delegation comprised O.P. Sharma, Jagdish Pradhan and Manjinder Singh Sirsa, besides Mr Gupta.
