AAP govt violated Constitution, should be dismissed: BJP

New Delhi: Terming the first year of AAP government as year of confrontations, Delhi BJP on Saturday demanded that the Centre dismiss the Arvind Kejriwal dispensation for violations of the Constitution.

A day before the Aam Aamdi Party government completes one year in office, Delhi BJP President Satish Upadhyay said the state unit will observe 'Protest Day' on Sunday. Addressing a press conference here, Opposition Leader in the Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta and South Delhi MP Ramesh Bidhuri demanded that the Centre dismiss the AAP government.

Gupta referred to a list of 52 notifications released by Delhi government and claimed these were in violation of the Constitution and laid down rules. “The central government should not overlook the violations of the Constitution. I will soon meet Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and apprise him of major instances of violation of the Constitution, laws and rules by AAP government”, Gupta told reporters.

Bidhuri said the Centre should dismiss the city government. “The Arvind Kejriwal government will complete one year in office tomorrow. The government has issued phone numbers through which Chief Minister and his cabinet colleagues will interact with the people. Tomorrow, Delhi BJP will hold a protest at Jantar Mantar against the completion of one year of the AAP government which has failed to fulfil its promises made during the Assembly elections. Kejriwal is a dream merchant as he has failed to deliver on his poll promises made to the masses. We will stage protests in different areas against the government till February 28”, Updhyay said here.

He alleged that ever since the AAP came to power, it has followed a course of conflict with the Centre and other agencies to divert focus away from their governance and lack of delivery on its promises.
