BJP leader Bansuri Swaraj attacked the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday after a court extended Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s Enforcement Directorate custody, asking if Sunita Kejriwal will “officially” take over as the new CM of the national capital.
Bansuri Swaraj, Delhi BJP secretary and the party’s candidate from New Delhi Lok Sabha seat, also hit out at the INDIA bloc for trying to “mislead” people of the national capital. She called the Opposition’s rally in the Ramlila Maidan on March 31 “a flop show”.
Bansuri Swaraj asked the party to clarify if Arvind Kejriwal’s wife Sunita Kejriwal “is now officially the chief minister because she is using the Delhi chief minister’s chair to give the media messages”.
