New Delhi, Apr 04: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national general secretary Tarun Chugh on Thursday accused the senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh of spreading canard to gain political sympathy for his party.
Chugh in a statement said, “The corruption of the AAP government was exposed in the country in the liquor policy scam that has its roots in Delhi, Punjab, Telangana and other states. They are not just corrupt, the AAP government’s dismal failure on other fronts is already known to the people. All the AAP propaganda on clinics and schools is an eyewash to fool the voters.”
He said a government that talks about clinics prepared a liquor policy to benefit the liquor barons at the cost of public health. “In Punjab, its result was amply demonstrated in the Sangrur hooch tragedy that killed about two dozen people in the home district of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann,” he said, adding that the health clinics claimed by AAP are only cover up operations to run the scams like that of the liquor scam unearthed in Delhi.
The BJP leader said Sanjay Singh has not been jailed for the freedom movement or any public grievance. “You are in jail because of scams, betrayal and bribery. Unfortunately, press conferences are being done by putting Arvind Kejriwal’s picture parallel to those of BR Ambedkar and Bhagat Singh. Both these personalities are being disrespected by this act,” he said.
“On one hand, it’s a person indulged in a liquor scam and on the other hand, are those who never took a step back in the freedom movement of the country. On the one side, it’s the person who formed the Constitution and on the other side it’s the person who doesn’t follow the Constitution,” he added.
