AAP Challenges BJP: Governance vs. Vendetta Politics

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) criticized the BJP-led Delhi government for prioritizing political vendetta over governance. AAP accused the BJP of using investigative agencies for baseless investigations, distracting from unfulfilled electoral promises, like the monthly honorarium for women in Delhi. AAP urged a governance-focused approach prioritizing public welfare.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday criticized the BJP-led Delhi government, accusing it of replacing governance priorities with political vendetta and misuse of investigative agencies.

This reaction follows the Delhi government's decision to initiate a vigilance inquiry into alleged irregularities in the construction of the Barapullah Phase-3 elevated corridor. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta led an Expenditure Finance Committee meeting, resulting in a call for an Anti-Corruption Branch investigation.

Admonishing what it terms a 'four-engine' government, AAP contends that BJP, six months into power, remains focused on filing 'baseless cases' rather than addressing developmental goals, including their pre-election vow of a monthly stipend for Delhi women. AAP pressured BJP to move beyond 'vendetta politics' and fulfill its electoral promises, emphasizing the public's accountability expectations.
