The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday said it was meaningless to drag Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the ongoing dispute between Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung.
"Dragging the Prime Minister into the dispute is absolutely meaningless. Making irrelevant charges of this kind is yet another way of trying to camouflage the fact that the Delhi Government under
Arvind Kejriwal has lost the plot. They have no idea of their responsibilities," BJP spokesperson M J Akbar told ANI.
He advised Kejriwal to keep his party in order, instead of pointing fingers at others.
"Kejriwal wants to politicise everything into some form of dispute. The Chief Minister would be advised to keep his own house in order, rather than pointing a meaningless finger on others," he added.
Earlier, Kejriwal, in a letter to Prime Minister Modi, had asked him to let the Delhi Government work independently under the Constitution.
He had also accused the Centre of ruling Delhi through the Lieutenant Governor.
Kejriwal also met senior bureaucrats at the Delhi Secretariat today with his deputy Manish Sisodia.
Both Jung and Kejriwal took the matter to President Pranab Mukherjee yesterday.
Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh is expected to meet the President today.
