CM dharna political stunt in bid to form ‘anti-Modi’ front: Manoj Tiwari

New Delhi: The Delhi BJP on Sunday accused chief minister Arvind Kejriwal of resorting to a “political stunt” in a bid to form an “anti-BJP, anti-Narendra Modi” front in the runup to the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari also said it was “unfortunate” that the chief ministers of four states allowed themselves to be a part of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo’s “drama”.

Leader of the Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta, who is sitting on an indefinite hungerstrike at the chief minister’s office in the Delhi Secretariat, wrote an “open letter” to Mr Kejriwal, asking him to look beyond “political interests” and resume work, along with his ministers.

“The (press) conference held by the chief ministers of four states in your favour ends all doubts of your dharna being nothing more than a political stunt to rally together an anti-BJP, anti-Modi front before the elections next year,” Mr Gupta wrote in the letter.
