‘A serial killer in town’: Arvind Kerjiwal on BJP toppling govts across nation

Delhi chief minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Friday compared the BJP to a serial killer while referring to the recent non-BJP governments toppled across the country.

Addressing a special Assembly session, Kejriwal said the BJP toppled several governments in the country till date – Goa, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Assam, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur and Meghalaya. “There is a serial killer in the city who is committing one murder after the other. People choose a government, they topple it,” he said.

The AAP boss said the BJP has so far bought 277 MLAs, adding the saffron camp used money collected through GST and hike in petrol, diesel prices to poach legislators.

Speaking about the raid at Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia’s residence in connection with the now-defunct excise policy, Kejriwal said, “The raid continued for 14 hours, but not a single penny was found. No jewellery was found, no cash was found, no documents of any land or property were found and no incriminating document was found – nothing was found. It was a false raid.”

The Delhi chief minister further said the BJP’s Gujarat fortress is under threat and crumbling, adding the latest ED and CBI raids on his party are due to the upcoming Assembly polls in the western state.

Stating that the BJP-led Centre wants to stop the good work being done in schools, Kejriwal said Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena has now started a probe in Delhi government-run schools.
