today hit back at Chief
Minister Arvind
Kejriwal, who had
yesterday told
that the Congress
would regret extending
support to his Aam
Aadmi Party or AAP to
form government in the national capital.
"Mr Kejriwal, you run the government and do what you want.
We will not withdraw support," Delhi Congress Chief Arvinder
Singh Lovely, told .
Adopting an aggressive stance, Mr Lovely accused the AAP of
running away from responsibility. "We won't let him run away and
he will have to fulfil his electoral promises," he said.
Mr Lovely added that Congress had extended support to AAP on
the basis of an 18-point common agenda, including fight against
corruption. "Mr Kejriwal is not doing a favour to the citizens of
Delhi by fighting corruption, it is his duty. And I am sorry we
supported him to become the Chief Minister of Delhi and not a
clerk who keep reading files," he said.
Questioning Mr Kejriwal's move to launch an FIR in the
Commonwealth Games (CWG) case about a year and a half ago at
respect for Kejriwal as a serious RTI activist. Why is he reading
these files now? Did he not have such information when he went
to launch an FIR? And if he did not, was he not lying to the people
of Delhi?"
The Delhi Chief Minister had yesterday told that he is
closely studying the CWG files and action will be taken soon. He
added that Congress will soon regret its decision to extend
support to the party.
In last month's election, AAP had made a dream debut when it
placed second behind the BJP with 28 seats in Delhi. It runs a
minority government with external support from the Congress,
which was reduced to just eight seats.
