The BJP has ramped up attack on the Kejriwal government in run up to the MCD polls with the latest salvo being fired latching on to the Lt Governor's direction of shutting down its 'feedback unit'.
BJP leaders charged the Kejriwal government of running a 'spy unit' on government money, adding "the unit worked under Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal".
"Privately a spying agency was run from the CM's office. Interestingly it is called a feedback unit. It was unconstitutional, unethical and illegal," BJP MP Minakshi Lekhi told a press conference.
Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta said the AAP government should declare details, including what cases were handled by the unit.
"We want to know whether this unit worked for people or Aam Admi Party," he said.
The 'feedback unit' was created under the Vigilance Department last year to reportedly "gather relevant information and actionable feedback" about officials and departments under the Delhi government.
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has said there is nothing wrong in setting up such a unit by the government.
"Every state should have a feedback unit and every government has it. The government should communicate with its people and take feedback. I don't think there is anything wrong in it," Sisodia said.
