New Delhi: The Delhi BJP on Saturday attacked chief minister Arvind Kejriwal over his foreign visit, alleging that he has travelled to Dubai with a hidden agenda, but the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) dismissed the charge as outlandish.
Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari tweeted about Mr Kejriwal’s trip on Friday night hitting out at him for leaving the city at a time when Delhiites were facing air pollution crisis.
Questioning the motive behind the chief minister’s visit, Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta told reporters on Saturday that Mr Kejriwal suddenly left for Dubai on November 8 by Air India flight and will be back on November 11. He alleged that the information about the visit has been hidden as there is something wrong.
However, AAP spokesperson Raghav Chadha said in a press conference that Arvind Kejriwal has gone abroad to attend a family function of his IIT batchmate. He denied BJP charges as outlandish. But the BJP persisted with its attack as Gupta asked, “Why is Aam Aadmi Party in denial mode about Mr Kejriwal visit?”
“The silence of Aam Aadmi Party about his trip proves that there is something wrong. It is clear that there is a hidden agenda behind this visit,” Mr Gupta alleged.
“This trip is not being called official visit or a family trip. What is the purpose of this Dubai visit, what is the agenda, where will he be staying and whom will he meet? Why is all this information being hidden? “ Mr Gupta questioned.
Mr Gupta claimed that it is to be noted that the contractor responsible for providing door step delivery in Delhi also lives in Dubai.
