BJP slams Sisodia for blamimg it, Delhi police for ink attack

New Delhi, Jan 18: Even as it "condemned" the ink throwing act on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, BJP today said that the attempt of Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia to accuse BJP and police for the incident is "more condemnable".

"We do not approve of such incidents but on the other hand, the swiftness with which Deputy CM Manish Sisodia started blaming the BJP and police is more condemnable and raises suspicion whether the act was staged by the AAP itself," Delhi BJP president Satish Upadhyay said.

Upadhyay said BJP has never supported such anarchic politics but AAP and Congress have given political promotion to people committing such acts.

"It was the AAP which encouraged anarchism in politics by promoting Jarnail Singh, a Khalistani supporter, to become an MLA, after he had thrown a shoe at the then Finance Minister P Chidambaram. "Similarly Congress had also indulged in a low grade politics by promoting Bhola Pandey of Uttar Pradesh, who had hijacked a plane three decades ago, to the post of MLA," he said.

A woman, identified as Bhavna Arora and who claimed to be a member of the Punjab unit of Aam Aadmi Sena, threw ink at Kejriwal at a public rally alleging that she has ample proof that the AAP-led Delhi government is directly involved in the CNG scam.

She was later detained by police and a Delhi court today sent her to one day police custody.

"The allegations levelled by Bhavna Arora against AAP government over the sale of more than one lakh CNG stickers to non-CNG cars in Delhi exposes double standards of the government," Upadhyay said. "AAP has emerged as the most corrupt party than Congress," Upadhyay tweeted.
