Arvind Kejriwal hand-in-glove with BJP: Congress

NEW DELHI: Hitting out at AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal for his meeting with Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari over the e-rickshaw issue, Congress today alleged that the former Delhi Chief Minister was "hand-in-glove with BJP".

"BJP and AAP are like-minded parties who are trying to divide secular forces in Delhi. In their meeting, they were discussing government formation. It was an attempt to throw dust in the eyes of e-rickshaw drivers," Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) chief spokesperson Mukesh Sharma said in a statement.

Sharma said that "Kejriwal is hand-in-glove with BJP, which has now been exposed through his today's meeting with Gadkari".

Slamming Kejriwal for not reacting to statements made by BJP leaders like Sakshi Maharaj and Yogi Adityanath, Sharma asked, "Why has he not reacted on the statements made by BJP leaders like Sakshi Maharaj and Yogi Adityanath?"

Seeking dissolution of the Delhi Assembly and fresh polls in the state, Sharma asserted that the Congress would make a comeback.
