New Delhi, May 24: BJP today accused Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of running a "meri marzi ki sarkar' in Delhi and said that the ruling AAP's performance has been marked more by "confrontation" than "coordination" as it completes 100 days in office.
The chief of BJP's Delhi unit, Satish Upadhyay, listed the controversies which have erupted ever since the Kejriwal-led AAP government came to power in the city in February.
Upadhyay pointed at the row with the Delhi Lt Governor over bureaucratic appointments, the alleged suicide by a farmer at an AAP rally and the row over the allegedly fake degrees of its minister and MLAs as he charged that AAP has failed to deliver on its election promises.
"Since the AAP government came to power in Delhi, there has been no politics of coordination, only of confrontation. Kejriwal has been running a 'meri marzi ki sarkar' and has not only made mockery of governance but also deceived the public," Upadhyay said at a press conference here.
"AAP has also demeaned the bureaucracy by locking horns with the LG over a routine appointment. The emergency session (of Assembly) has been called to further escalate the administrative crisis and create alibis to run away from governance," Upadhyay claimed as he launched a presentation, "#AAP ka fareb", directed against the ruling party.
"The 100 days (of AAP) reflect an era of anarchism in governance and murder of humanity which Delhi had never seen," he said.
Upadhyay said that Kejriwal has maintained a "meri marzi" approach, be it in the row with Delhi Women's Commission or the Centre, a High Court order or a crisis within the ranks of his own party.
"Kejriwal also tried to control the media with the same 'meri marzi' approach. He is failing to understand that media is different from Yogender Yadav and Prashant Bhushan, whom you could throw away using bouncer culture. They failed to coordinate even with the Centre government," he alleged.
"In these 100 days, Kejriwal and his cronies have found fault in the working of every institution, be it the administrative system, constitutional bodies, media, judiciary.
"Now he is out to challenge the constitution itself by challenging its provisions on Centre and Union Territory relations," added Upadhyay.
BJP also attacked the Delhi Chief Minister for his "self- glorification as an anti-corruption crusader".
"Above Rs 100 crore has been spent by this government on its self glorification as anti-corruption crusader. Yesterday also, new hoardings have come up with figures of 35 corrupt officials arrested and around 152 suspensions. To the best of our knowledge, these figures are fudged," Upadhyay said.
Charging that the AAP government had "failed badly" in delivering on its poll promises, BJP said the "public is still awaiting the freebies promised by them, including water and Wi-Fi".
"We challenge them to put on record the files on summer action plan on water and power shortage during these 100 days. We also challenge them to make public the records wherein Delhi Cabinet discussed expansion of water pipelines to unauthorised colonies or rural and urban villages," he said.
The opposition party also dared AAP to bring out a list of arrested and suspended officials along with the cases against them.
"Whatever the AAP government promises to do has a 'conditions-apply' hashtag attached. They themselves said in a meeting of IAS officers that they have set a target of fulfilling at least 40-50 per cent of the promises," Upadhyay said.
"Though 100 days is a short period to judge any government, now that they are projecting their 100 days in office as a new beginning, we have no option but to react," he added.
The kind of mandate AAP was given by the public, the party had 100 avenues to work and serve, but they will never fulfil their promises as they are working "overtime to create administrative ruckus in Delhi to divert public glare away from the real issues", claimed the Delhi BJP chief.
BJP also questioned Kejriwal's silence on accusations that the alleged suicide by the farmer was a pre-planned affair and for his inaction against Delhi law minister Jitendra Singh Tomar and MLA Surendra over the issue of bogus educational degrees despite the universities concerned testifying to the same.
Also, with AAP having planned a mega event at Central Park here tomorrow where the entire Delhi Cabinet will be present to highlight its achievements before the public, Upadhyay said, "Calling a Cabinet meeting in a park is nothing but a cheap gimmick to try and be in the news."
