Aam Aadmi Party on Monday accused the BJP of destabilising the Arvind Kejriwal government in the city after its MLA Ved Prakash joined the saffron party.
Senior AAP leader Sanjay Singh said the BJP is rattled with its imminent defeat in the civic body elections– where polling is scheduled for April 23– after Kejriwal’s decision to do away with residential house tax.
Singh alleged the BJP had resorted to horse-trading before the 2015 Assembly polls as well.
The BJP had taken the then AAP MLAs Vinod Kumar Binny, Ashok Chauhan, Rajesh Garg and Maninder Singh Dhir into the party fold.
“The people, however, gave a befitting reply and the AAP won 67 out of 70 seats. The MCD will also see similar results. The BJP does not believe in democracy and its action in Arunachal Pradesh and Uttarkhand to destablise the (the Congress) governments is well known. It is now trying to destablise the Arvind Kejriwal government,” he said.
AAP’s Bawana legislator’s decision to quit the party, and the MLA post, came as a surprise to its top brass.
The Party’s Delhi unit convenor Dilip Pandey was to address the media on the residential house tax issue, but cancelled it as the top brass gathered for an emergency meeting at Kejriwal’s residence.
