AAP chief spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar (Archives)Accusing the BJP of failing to shift its focus from political attacks to governance, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Saturday said the ruling party is indulging in “abusive politics” instead of fulfilling its electoral promises.
Addressing mediapersons, AAP chief spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar said, “The AAP has been saying this all along, and now the people of Delhi can see it for themselves. Earlier, the BJP did nothing but hurl abuses at AAP and create obstacles in the way of our government’s work. Now, even after coming to power in Delhi after 27 years, their focus remains the same — abusing AAP instead of governing.”
Kakkar highlighted the BJP’s pre-election commitment to provide monthly financial assistance of Rs 2,500 to women. “During the polls, the BJP promised that in its very first Cabinet meeting, it would pass a proposal to give Rs 2,500 per month to every woman. It also assured that the first installment would be credited by March 8,” Kakkar said, adding that the first Cabinet meeting did not take any call on distributing the cash dole.
“The people of Delhi are watching. BJP leaders made tall claims during the elections, but now that they are in power, they seem to have forgotten their promises,” Kakkar said.
AAP also urged the BJP to move beyond rhetoric. “Now that they are in power, AAP urges them to act responsibly and fulfil the promises they made to the people, instead of indulging in blame games,” Kakkar added.
