Aam Aadmi Party has raised questions over cutting the tickets of four BJP MPs. AAP leader Atishi said that BJP first gives tickets to useless people. For this reason they remain missing for five years after winning. In view of the possibility of his defeat, BJP makes a drama of changing the candidate after five years. For this reason, BJP has canceled the tickets of four MPs and made new people its candidates, but now the people of Delhi are not going to be misled and this time the victory of India Alliance on all the seats is certain. At the same time, he said that BJP has made Bansuri Swaraj, who supported anti-national forces in the court, its candidate from New Delhi. The public is very hurt by this. BJP should change its candidate.
AAP leader Atishi and AAP candidate from New Delhi seat Somnath Bharti accused BJP and Bansuri Swaraj in a joint press conference at the party headquarters on Sunday. Atishi said that BJP has been changing candidates from MCD to Lok Sabha elections and its hallmark can be seen in the list of BJP candidates released on Saturday. BJP replaced four of the five MPs.
He said that BJP has given the ticket to Bansuri Swaraj by canceling the ticket of Meenakshi Lekhi from New Delhi, whereas Bansuri Swaraj has repeatedly stood in the court against the national interest and defended the country’s opponents. Bansuri Swaraj, a lawyer by profession, should fight for the rights of the people, but she defends Lalit Modi, who is absconding after embezzling lakhs of crores of rupees from the country. From 2012 to 2014, he continuously defended Lalit Modi in his passport case from the lower court to the High Court and the Supreme Court. Lalit Modi absconded with the passport even before the Division Bench order came and has not returned till date. Not only this, Lalit Modi had also tweeted and thanked Bansuri Swaraj for fighting the case.
He said that Bansuri Swaraj was standing in the Supreme Court on behalf of the Central Government in the case of parading two women naked during the violence in Manipur. Therefore, with what face will she go to seek votes from the women of New Delhi Lok Sabha constituency? She stood in the Supreme Court on behalf of the Mayor in the case of attempted vote theft in the Chandigarh Mayor’s election. Bansuri Swaraj should apologize to the country on these matters.
Somnath Bharti said that Bansuri Swaraj had also defended Brij Bhushan in the case of a female wrestler who brought a medal for the country. By giving them ticket, BJP has proved to be anti-national, anti-women and anti-democracy.
