The truth is that it is due to the collapse of AAP’s ten years of non development, corruption, and scams that the councillors and MLAs, fed up with the party, have chosen to leave – Virendra Sachdeva

Delhi BJP President Shri Virendra Sachdeva said it is unfortunate that the defeated and disillusioned leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party are blaming the BJP for the major split in their municipal corporation wing. However, whether in the press conference announcing their departure or in their resignation letters, the councillors who left AAP to form a separate party have clearly stated that since the 2022 elections, AAP leaders have neither focused on running the municipal administration nor tried to coordinate with their councillors. In this context, it is clear that the BJP has no involvement.

The Delhi BJP President added that due to his obstinate approach, Arvind Kejriwal never allowed the formation of a Standing Committee in the Municipal Corporation and never engaged in dialogue with his councillors. As a result, even after more than half of the tenure having passed, AAP councillors have been unable to initiate any development work.

Mr. Sachdeva further said that faced with stalled development and fearful of facing the public in the upcoming elections, 15 councillors decided today to form their own party.

He said that instead of blaming the BJP for their internal collapse, AAP leaders should introspect. These 15 councillors accusing their party leadership of neglect are not the first ones. Previously, more than 15 MLAs including three ministers, over 10 councillors, and one Rajya Sabha MP have accused Arvind Kejriwal of running the party without coordination and thereby leading it towards destruction.

The Delhi BJP President emphasized that the truth is, it is AAP’s non development over the past decade, along with corruption and scandals, that pushed councillors and MLAs to leave the party.

It is regrettable that instead of accepting their own mistakes, AAP leaders are placing blame on the BJP.
