New Delhi: Chief minister Rekha Gupta and Delhi BJP president Harsh Malhotra Saturday accused AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal and functionaries of Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) of disrupting public life and inconveniencing commuters, daily-wage earners and patients trying to reach hospitals.
Claiming that public participation was negligible, Kapoor said the protest had once again exposed Kejriwal’s “falsehoods” as neither any member of his family, as announced by him Friday, nor any party worker turned up. “He himself left home in the evening instead of the morning and did not reach Jantar Mantar. He… misled ordinary young people and sent them to face police,” Malhotra alleged.
The Congress MP urged the youth to continue protesting and said the opposition would defend the Constitution and people’s voice, and defeat BJP. Meanwhile, Rahul, in a post on X, accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of suppressing dissent and alleged that BJP’s political space was shrinking.
