BJP protests at Kejri home for his note ban opposition

The Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday held a demonstration at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence protesting against the CM's stand on demonetisation and `stalled' development works in several unauthorized colonies and villages of south Delhi.

The protest was led by MP and Delhi BJP general secretary Ramesh Bidhuri along with the workers of South Delhi Parliamentary constituency.

Addressing the workers, Bidhuri said that Kejriwal is strongly against demonetisation because his party has collected huge amount of cash in the form of donation in the last three years.

“The opposition to demonetisation by Kejriwal is clearly due to his personal loss otherwise it is beyond comprehension that the person who raised slogans in support of demonetisation in Ramlila Maidan in 2011 is now opposing it,” he said.  He alleged that the Aam Aadmi Party operates with hundreds of paid volunteers now posted in Punjab and this demonetisation has made Kejriwal a pauper with no money left to pay them. His frustration is a result of this penury, he said in a statement.

He accused the MLAs from south Delhi of enreaching themselves as a result of which the development work has been stalled.

“The people from Chhattarpur, Badarpur to Bijwasan are struggling to drink water, the condition of roads is very pathetic and the standard of government schools is falling but the Kejriwal government is not concerned about it,” Bidhuri alleged.

He said that contract of crores for the demolition of BRT Corridor and its maintenance has been awarded but even after a year this corridor is not fit for traffic.

 “The roads connecting the most posh colonies of Delhi from Kalkaji in South Delhi to Anand Niketan is in bad shape specially the outer ring road has become shabby due to lack of maintenance,” the BJP MP said.

Meanwhille, the workers of BJP Purvanchal Morcha took out a 'Note Bandi Samarthan March' (Demonetisation Support March) from Akshardham Metro station to Laxmi Nagar.

Morcha president Dinesh Pratap Singh said the move will help eradicate black money and transform economy.
