BJP on Sunday accused AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal of trying to cover up his government’s corruption with his rally at Ramlila ground. In a press conference at BJP headquarters, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva and MPs Manoj Tiwari and Ramesh Bidhuri said that AAP under Kejriwal has transformed into a “Khaas Admi Party”.

Tiwari said the Ramlila ground needs to be purified with Gangajal after Kejriwal’s rally there. “I recall Kejriwal sharing dias with Anna Hazare during India Against Corruption days at Ramlila ground and claiming to be against corruption. He was again heard screaming from Ramlila ground, this time to cover up his corruption… He talked about all other things, but didn’t make any mention of Lokpal, which used to be his favourite before coming to power,” Tiwari said, adding: “Now, Kejriwal is using foul language against the PM from the same ground to hide his corruption.”

Sachdeva said AAP was no longer working for the common man and its only aim now was to “rob” the people of Delhi. “Kejriwal has ashamed Delhi people with low standard of his speech at the rally and asserting there were hundreds of Sisodias and Jains in his party. Did he mean to say the entire AAP is corrupt?” Sachdeva said.

Bidhuri alleged that Kejriwal’s claim that his rally will be attended by one lakh people was belied by a person who set up tents there and who told him that payment was made for 10,000 chairs only.

BJP had put up posters and hoardings at various vantage points outside Ramlila ground where AAP’s rally against recent ordinance by the Centre was held.
