A BJP leader today hit out at party's suspended MP Kirti Azad accusing him of joining hands with opposition parties due to "personal grudge" against Union Minister Arun Jaitley.
Punjab BJP vice president Rajinder Mohan Singh Chhina alleged that Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress were raking up "unnecessary and fake issues" relating to the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA).
He said Jaitley was a man of integrity and clean public image and the attack on him was due to political reasons. He claimed it was Jaitley who cleaned the administration and improved the sports facilities under the DDCA.
The BJP leader said the opposition has no real issues to target the Modi government "which is taking the country to the new path of development".
"The opposition parties are aspiring to attack him (Jaitley) to seek political mileage. But politics should not stoop to this level which is unhealthy for the country," he said
Chhina also lashed out at Kirti Azad. "The allegations pertain to UPA regime and if there were malpractices why he remained silent and now he is trying to target his own senior party leader," asked Chhina, adding that Kirti was "playing into the hands" of opposition due to certain "personal grudge" against Jaitley.
"AAP and Congress are two sides of the same coin. They are A and B teams and both political parties aim to mislead the public for vested political interests," Chhina alleged.
