AAP most dishonest party, Congress fighting for ‘abki baar, 40 paar’: Anurag Thakur

“Why are they leaving Congress,” the Union Minister said in response to a question about the hold of Congress leader Kamal Nath in the Chhindwara Lok Sabha seat, which he has won nine times and is now represented by his son Nakul Nath.

Union Minister Anurag Thakur on April 13 called the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) the “most dishonest party”, and claimed that the Congress is fighting the upcoming Lok Sabha elections for “abki baar, 40 paar” when the BJP is aiming for over 400 seats.

Congress leaders are leaving in droves for the BJP due to the spectacular performance of the BJP-led NDA government for the past ten years, he said in Madhya Pradesh’s Pandhurna district, a part of the Chhindwara Lok Sabha seat.

The 29 Lok Sabha constituencies in M.P. will go to polls in four phases between April 19 and May 13 and votes will be counted on June 4. Chhindwara will vote in the first phase.

“The truth is that AAP is the most dishonest political party. It is leading the table in telling lies. If there is an utterly dishonest person it is Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal,” said the Union Minister when asked about the Aam Aadmi Party’s allegation that the BJP was misusing the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

The ED has arrested Mr. Kejriwal in an alleged money laundering case linked with the Delhi government’s now-scrapped liquor policy.

The Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting and Youth Affairs and Sports said Mr. Kejriwal had entered politics to end corruption.

“But it appears he is seeped in corruption. His health minister, jail minister, excise minister and deputy chief minister are in jail. And the dishonest Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is also in jail,” he said.
