NEW DELHI: Amid an intensifying tussle between the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal, the Congress on Sunday accused the Delhi leader minister of constructing the folk of the nationwide capital endure due to his "inflated ego".
Delhi Congress leader Ajay Maken said Kejriwal must put an end to the disaster through expressing "regrets" to Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash, who was once allegedly manhandled through AAP legislators at the leader minister's residence right through a overdue evening meeting on February 19.
"Still remember the unabashed 'apology' radio ads by Kejriwal after his 49 days gov in 2014. Now-apology from Majithia,Jaitley,Sibbal...Why can't he just offer regrets to the CS and govern Delhi the way he is Constitutionally supposed to? Why should Delhi suffer his inflated ego (sic)?" Maken tweeted.
Former Delhi leader minister and Congress leader Sheila Dikshit said no one could lend a hand Kejriwal if he did not perceive the constitutional provisions relating to Delhi.
"If you do not understand the Constitution, what can anyone do? That is the bottom line. Delhi cannot become Kerala or Goa or Puducherry, which have different powers as per the Constitution," she advised PTI.
Dikshit said there was once no hurt in fighting for extra power, however added that it will only be finished thru Parliament.
"If a chief minister does not understand the basics about his state, then I have nothing to say. Everybody has the right to ask for more power, but it has to be by changing the Constitution through Parliament. He can have the powers he is seeking only through Parliament," she added.
Dikshit brushed aside the AAP allegation that the Congress was once siding with the BJP, while a number of political parties were standing through Kejriwal in the ongoing tussle.
"What they are saying is totally irrelevant. We have got our own identity," she said.
Kejriwal, at the side of a few of his cupboard colleagues, is sitting on an indefinite dharna at LG Anil Baijal's workplace since Monday remaining, demanding the latter to direct the IAS officials to call off their "strike" and transparent his government's doorstep ration supply scheme.
The IAS officials of the Delhi government are boycotting their conferences with the AAP ministers in protest towards an alleged assault at the leader secretary through the ruling party legislators.
Delhi Congress leader spokesperson Sharmistha Mukherjee accused Kejriwal of trying to convert the venue of his dharna at the Raj Bhavan into a spot for "political hobnobbing".
"Had the venue been different, perhaps there wud be no need for 'permission'. Rajbhavan is not the place for political hobnobbing. BJP does it all the time & @ArvindKejriwal tried to do it in a convoluted manner. One wrong doesn't make another wrong right (sic)," she tweeted.
Yesterday, the executive ministers of four states ruled through non-BJP parties, including Mamata Banerjee of West Bengal, had attempted to meet Kejriwal, however were denied permission.
