New Delhi, May 3, 2019: Union Minister and former BJP Delhi President Vijay Goel welcomed Aam Aadmi Party MLA Anil Kumar Bajpayee to the BJP and said that his joining would particularly strengthen the BJP in Gandhinagar assembly constituency.
Goel said that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is making baseless allegations of horse-trading of MLAs. His own MLA Anil Kumar Bajpayee himself has confessed that he was humiliated in the party with the words “gadha (donkey)” and “tucha (mean)” due to which he willingly went to see Vijay Goel and asked to join the BJP. Goel said the things in the AAP has come to such a pass that the party which came to the power on the agenda of fighting corruption is itself indulging in corruption, and with the way the party members are being humiliated, other MLAs would also quit the party.
Goel said that Kejriwal asked him through a tweet about the deal with their MLAs. But I ask him whether Kejriwal bought “AAP” north-west candidate Gugan Singh, who quit the BJP to join his party? Aam Aadmi Party has six MLAs who were earlier members of the BJP. Were they also paid money? Kejriwal should do constructive politics and not negative politics. Do not call your own MLAs saleable.
Goel said that these issues are being raked up to hide the failures of the Kejriwal government in the past four-and-a-half years. For example:
1.Two voter IDs of Gautam Gambhir
2.FIR against Ramesh Bidhuri in Bihar
3.Hans Raj Hans is Muslim, not Valmiki
4.BJP leaders are goons
5.Asking people in JJ clusters to accept money if offered
Goel said Kejriwal should talk about issues. The BJP doesn’t need any MLA from his side, but few MLAs are reaching out to us after facing humiliation in the AAP. Goel recounted their names, such as Prashant Bhushan, Yogendra Yadav, Kapil Mishra and others who have quit the Aam Aadmi Party. Did someone offer money to these people for quitting the AAP?
Goel said that a survey reveals that the BJP is winning all the seven seats in Delhi, and hence Kejriwal is getting frustrated.
Goel said that today Manish Sisodia is teaching us a lesson in cheap politics. Ask him why apologies were tendered to Arun Jaitley. Didn't that happen because the AAP leaders were doing cheap politics in the first place? It is cheap politics of the Aam Aadmi Party that Kejriwal-Sisodia who came to power fighting against the corruption of Congress and Sheila Dikshit were begging the same Congress for the alliance, and when the efforts for alliance didn’t materialize, they are now cursing the Congress leaders.
