Hardeep Puri took a dig at Delhi’s CM for forming an alliance with the “most corrupt party” against whom they had started an anti-corruption movement. Hardeep Singh Puri on Friday compared Sunita Kejriwal, wife of Delhi chief minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal, with Rabri Devi, wife of former Bihar chief minister and RJD veteran Lalu Prasad Yadav, hinting that the former is in the line to succeed her husband just like the latter did in Bihar. “The madam you are naming is perhaps preparing to hold the post like Rabri Devi did in Bihar,” news agency PTI quoted Puri, speaking to the reporters after attending the inauguration ceremony of the Delhi BJP’s election office along with leaders, including Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva and Bansuri Swaraj. The BJP leader further took a dig at Delhi’s CM for forming an alliance with the “most corrupt party” against whom they had started an anti-corruption movement with octogenarian social activist Anna Hazare. “When he (Arvind Kejriwal) joined politics, saying they were starting a movement against corruption, today, they joined whom? It was the most corrupt party.Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal was issued 9 summons, but he did not respond. Leave Arvind Kejriwal, his time is limited…” ANI quoted Puri as saying. BJP leader Manoj Tiwari also took a dig at AAP asking why only Kejriwal’s wife is coming out in his support, and not the people of Delhi. “The Honourable Justice of High Court said that they cannot stop his (Arvind Kejriwal’s) arrest and that they are surprised why he hasn’t been arrested yet (till then). Does holding a press conference reduce the crime of a criminal? The question is why only his wife is coming out (in his support), and not the people of Delhi,” he said to PTI.
