Kejriwal should seek fresh mandate: BJP after HC verdict

August 04, 2016 21:08

The BJP today asked Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to seek a fresh mandate in Delhi, saying his government has "no moral right" to continue after the high court declared severals of its orders "illegal" and ruled that the Lt Governor was the city's administrative head.

Taunting Kejriwal over his ongoing 'vipassana' course during which he keeps away from public eye, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said he deliberately went for the exercise now as as he knew that the verdict was due today and the court was to rule against his "illegal and unconstitutional" moves.

"AAP has received slap on its face from the legal system. It had been misleading people of Delhi and doing this drama that the Centre was not allowing its government (to function). They are very cunning people. Kejriwal knew that such a verdict was coming today and he went into hiding in the name of 'vipassana'.

"A man who worships power and comments on all issues under the Sun is keeping away on the pretext of 'vipassana'. Knowing everything, he took unconstitutional and illegal decisions. He should face the people again. This government has no moral right to continue," Patra told reporters.
