BJP leader Nirmala Sitharaman at the press conference.
An aggressive BJP kept its promise on Day 2, hurling five more questions at Arvind Kejriwal of the Aam Aadmi Party. With days to go for elections in Delhi, the BJP has pointed all of its considerable arsenal at Mr Kejriwal.
Mr Kejriwal has not yet bothered to furnish answers to questions that the BJP posed yesterday. "The DNA of Aam Aadmi Party is to scoot-and-shoot," said BJP leader and central minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who, along with another minister Venkaiah Naidu, unleashed the next set of questions today.
The BJP has asked Mr Kejriwal today:
1) Has AAP outsourced its vote seeking work to anti-national groups? Delhi voters are getting calls from Dubai to vote for the AAP. Funds are coming from Dubai.
2) AAP accuses every party of being corrupt. According to rules, political parties are supposed to submit poll expenses to the Election Commission. Why has AAP not submitted their Lok Sabha account to the commission?
3) The AAP is an anti-woman party. All women members are leaving the party. Why are the women leaving the party? When BJP projects a woman candidate, they call her opportunistic... they should be ashamed. Is this how you deal with women?
4) AAP claims they respect institutions. The AAP has received three notices from Election Commission. Arvind is brazenly violating Election Commission directives. How does he respect institutions?
5) Arvind Kejriwal left the government in 49 days, saying nobody is allowing to bring in Lokayukta. Why did he mislead people of Delhi? A Lokayukta exists in Delhi.
The BJP ratcheted up it Delhi campaign yesterday, reportedly worried that its chief ministerial candidate Kiran Bedi, who joined the party earlier this month, has been unable to draw the kind of crowds that her main rival Arvind Kejriwal has been drawing.
BJP chief Amit Shah called in the heavy artilelry to Delhi, deploying an army of the BJP's top minsters and lawmakers to campaign in Delhi.
