Delhi CM spreading Anarchy, says BJP

New Delhi The BJP on Wednesday hit out at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over his remarks about "new form of coronavirus in Singapore" that have sparked a controversy, alleging that it is part of his "toolkit to spread confusion and anarchy".

BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia charged Kejriwal with seeking political mileage at the cost of India's image with his "irresponsible" tweet and said the Delhi Chief Minister keeps making "hue and cry" over one issue or another so that nobody questions him on his "all-round failure" in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic in the city.

The BJP also accused the AAP chief of "serious violation" of constitutional propriety by speaking on matters of foreign affairs and alleged that Kejriwal's statements are not only jeopardising the lives of Indian citizens but also friendly relations with countries that are coming forward to help our nation. "Kejriwal has presented his toolkit of spreading confusion and anarchy and seems to be competing with the Congress in propagating lies and destabilising the country," Bhatia alleged.

In a tweet, Kejriwal had said on Tuesday, "A new form of coronavirus in Singapore is said to be very dangerous for children. It could reach Delhi in the form of a third wave. "My appeal to the Central government: 1. Cancel all air services with Singapore with immediate effect 2. Work on vaccine alternatives for children on a priority basis."
