BJP gets tough with AAP

December 16, 2015 16:40

The Bharatiya Janata Party top brass has informally conveyed to the senior Union ministers to avoid, as far as possible, giving appointments to Aam Aadmi Party ministers, including Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

It is hoped that this barring of the AAP leadership will make them acknowledge and apologise for their derogatory tweets directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister M Venkaiah Naidu, who is said to be close to Kejriwal, is believed to have asked the Delhi chief minister to offer and apology and to delete the tweet wherein he called the prime minister 'a coward and a psychopath'.

Improved relations with the Centre may benefit the Delhi government as at least eight departments of the state depend on the direct assistance from the Union government.
