AAP’s accuses BJP of indulging in “dirty politics” as Delhi tableau misses out on Repuplic-Day

New Delhi [India], December 23 (ANI): After Arvind Kejriwal questioned the central government for not allowing Delhi’s tableau to be included in the Republic Day parade, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Priyanka Kakkar on Monday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of indulging in “low-level dirty politics,” saying that it was not allowing them to participate for four years.

“Delhi has many things to showcase, but the BJP was not allowing them to participate,” she added.

“BJP hates the people of Delhi because they rejected the BJP back to back. By not allowing Delhi tableau in the Republic Day parade for the last 4 years, the BJP is showing its low-level dirty politics. Be it works related to schools, Mohalla clinic or infrastructural works done by Kejriwal, Delhi has many things to showcase. But the BJP was not allowing us,” Kakkar told ANI.

Meanwhile, BJP leader Parvesh Verma said that the AAP government in Delhi was making an issue over the tableau not being included in the Republic Day parade because elections are coming.

“All the states never participate. The states which showcase their tableau model, and from that the states with good tableaux are selected. Delhi CM never participated in the previous years, but this year since the election is coming, they have made it an issue. Had there been a good tableau and had they participated every year, they would have got a chance,” Verma told ANI.

Earlier, Kejriwal on Sunday questioned the central government over its “politics” for not allowing Delhi’s tableau to be included in the Republic Day parade on January 26, saying that they have no vision for the people.

“Delhi is the capital of India and the tableau of Delhi should participate every year in the 26th January parade. For the last so many years, the tableau of Delhi is not allowed to participate in the parade. What kind of politics is this? Why do they hate the people of Delhi so much? Why should the people of Delhi vote for them?” Kejriwal said in a presser.

Kejriwal, former Chief Minister of Delhi, further lashed out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in the centre and said that they only abuse him and his party. Taking a dig at the BJP, he said that they had no narrative for the upcoming Delhi assembly elections.

“They have no narrative for the upcoming Delhi assembly polls. They have no vision for the people of Delhi. They only abuse Kejriwal and AAP. Should we vote for them just for this? Why are the tableau and the people of Delhi being stopped from participating in the 26th January parade?” Kejriwal remarked.

Meanwhile, he announced that registration for ‘Mukhya Mantri Mahila Samman Yojana’ and ‘Sanjeevani Yojana’ will begin across the national capital from tomorrow. He said that the registration for the Mahila Samman scheme that will provide women living in the national capital with Rs 2,100 per month will start from December 23.
