Delhi Congress brings out 'white paper' targeting AAP, BJP; Maken says alliance was a 'mistake'

Delhi Congress releases white paper criticizing AAP and BJP over unkept promises, mismanagement; Maken calls Kejriwal "Farziwal."

Delhi Congress on Wednesday (December 25, 2024) released a 12-point "white paper" targeting the Aam Aadmi Party and the BJP over their alleged unkept promises and mismanagement on various issues like pollution, civic facilities and law and order.

Addressing a press conference, AICC treasurer Ajay Maken lashed out at AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal, saying his party came to power riding on the Janlokpal agitation but has failed to set up the anti-corruption ombudsman.

"If there is one word to describe former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal here then it would be Farziwal," he said while releasing the white paper titled "Mauka Mauka, Har Baar Dhoka".

"If anyone is the king of fraud in the entire country then it is Mr. Kejriwal and that is why we have come here with a white paper on the Kejriwal government and also on the BJP government at the Centre," Mr. Maken said.

There was no immediate reaction from AAP and BJP.

Mr. Maken questioned why the Janlokpal had not been formed even in Punjab.

"If LG is not allowing you here, then make it in Punjab. Who is stopping you? You have a full-fledged government there, why don't you make it there? This is just an excuse. The party (AAP) was formed 10 years ago in the name of Janlokpal, now they have forgotten it,” he said.
