New Delhi, Jan 17 (IANS) The Congress Saturday accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal of misleading the people by making high-sounding promises and then reneging on them.
The Congress general secretary and face of the party for Delhi assembly elections Ajay Maken while accusing Kejriwal of swallowing his own promise of leading a life of an ordinary citizen if elected, soon forgot it - whether it was not using official car with blue beacon light, or taking security cover or big government accommodation.
Referring to a sworn affidavit filed by Kejriwal wherein he had made all these promises, Maken told newsmen that not only Kejriwal availed the official car with a beacon but even sought two houses with eight rooms after he became the chief minister of Delhi after December 2013 assembly elections.
Kejriwal had said that he believed in Swaraj and would seek the consent of the people before doing anything, Maken said asking did he go to the people before resigning as chief minister to fulfill his Lok Sabha ambitions.
Wondering how could people trust a person who does not blink before going back on his promises, Maken asked how can a person fight corruption whose politics is founded on lies and false promises.
