Day after BJP felicitates 8 men accused of attacking Kejriwal home, AAP MP calls it party of ‘goons and ruffians’

He was responding to party MP Raghav Chadha’s press conference earlier in the day on the same issue. Chadha said that in the US, if somebody indulges in hooliganism, he is put in jail: “In India, they join the BJP. In European countries, if someone harasses your mothers and sisters, they go to jail. In India, if they do this, they go to BJP.”

Chadha also called the BJP a party of “goons and ruffians”. “BJP has become a party of goons and ruffians… We have no qualms in saying that they have become ‘Bharat ki Jaahil Party’. Their goons and ruffians attack AAP leaders.
They have attacked and vandalised the home of Arvind Kejriwal, who is the elected Chief Minister of Delhi, who is world famous, a former Income Tax Commissioner and an IIT alumnus. The BJP calls them… felicitates them, honours them with siropa (robe) and shawl, clicks photos of them and issues press releases,” he Chadha. He also cited instances of BJP members “vandalising the home of Deputy CM Manish Sisodia” and “entering Delhi Jal Board’s underground reservoir in Sonia Vihar”.

Chadha also said the BJP government did not want to build schools or provide employment as they needed “illiterate goons for their army”. “BJP will never build good schools and colleges for you. They won’t do it because they want an army of illiterate goons. If people get access to education, how will BJP get illiterate goons? They will also not produce employment opportunities for you. If BJP does this, how will scores of unemployed ruffians and goons join their army?” he said.

“The question in front of us today is, do we want to make India a lawless state like Pakistan or Sri Lanka? Or do we want to make it a developed nation where our competition is with the most developed countries like European countries, the US and Japan?” said Chadha.

He said the country will progress only when “people boycott a party like the BJP… and call them traitors”. “Today, if the BJP is most scared of anybody, it’s Arvind Kejriwal. Their lumpen elements are most scared of Kejriwal’s education model,” he said.

Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia also spoke out against the BJP and appealed to people to boycott those who “engage in bullying and petty politics”.

“The BJP not only protects goons and thugs, but also treats them like heroes, honours them at its office. The BJP’s true face is out in the open, its role models are gangsters and goons, not freedom fighters and martyrs. It is high time… its politicians are boycotted and the country starts discussing science, education and employment,” he said.
