Where were these CMs when chief secy was attacked: BJP
New Delhi, June 16: Criticising the decision of four non- NDA chief ministers to extend support to their Delhi counterpart who has been protesting at the lieutenant- governor’s ( L- G) office here, the BJP on Saturday questioned why they did not object to the assault on Delhi chief secretary Anshu Prakash.
Senior BJP leader Vijay Goel said the four leaders “are in the national capital to attend the NITI Aayog meeting and not to do politics. It doesn’t suit them”.
“Where were they when the Delhi chief secretary was assaulted at chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence and in his presence? And what will happen if the chief secretaries of their states also come out in support of Mr Prakash,” Mr Goel said. West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee, Andhra Pradesh chief minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu, Karnataka chief minister H. D. Kumaraswamy and Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan went to Mr Kejriwal’s residence after the L- G “denied” them permission to meet the AAP leader.
He has been protesting at the Raj Niwas, demanding that the “strike” by bureaucrats be called off.
The babus in Delhi are not meeting Delhi ministers as part of their protest against an alleged assault on Mr Prakash in February; they are demanding an apology from Mr Kejriwal. Ms Banerjee, Mr Naidu, Mr Vijayan and Mr Kumaraswamy are here to attend a meeting of Niti Ayog on Sunday.
