AAP furious with Ajay Maken, says will ask INDIA alliance to remove Congress if ‘no action taken’ | Read

New Delhi: The ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Thursday threatened to consult other parties within the INDIA alliance about removing the Congress.

The AAP is also upset over remarks made by Delhi Congress leaders, including Ajay Maken, which targeted the party. AAP’s Sanjay Singh, holding a press conference, said his party will ask INDIA bloc parties to remove the Congress from alliance if no action taken against Ajay Maken.

Some media reports earlier claimed that the AAP was angered by the Congress filing a complaint against Arvind Kejriwal, accusing him of “misleading and deceiving” the public with promises of “non-existent” welfare schemes.

The Delhi Congress on Wednesday released a 12-point “white paper” targeting the AAP and the BJP over their alleged unkept promises and mismanagement on various issues like pollution, civic facilities and law and order.

Addressing a press conference, AICC treasurer Ajay Maken lashed out at AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal, saying his party came to power riding on the Janlokpal agitation but has failed to set up the anti-corruption ombudsman.

AAP leader Sanjay Singh on Thursday said Congress was doing “everything to help BJP win Delhi polls”, adding that Ajay Maken “reads BJP’s script”.

“Congress leader Ajay Maken called Arvind Kejriwal ‘anti-national’, party must take action against him in 24 hours. Congress’s list of candidates for Delhi polls appears to be prepared by BJP; aimed at harming AAP,” Sanjay Singh said.
