Seems like Delhi Law minister Somanth Bharti cannot avoid new controversies. Bharti today lost his cool when a reporter asked him if he was planning to resign on moral grounds, retorting, "How much money were you paid by Modiji?"
Earlier, Bharti said the Delhi Commission for Women's (DCW) move against him was "politically motivated" and called its chairperson Barkha Singh a member of Congress.
Reacting to the comment made by Bharti, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) should maintain some decency and discipline in their party, and that they were behaving like unguided missiles.
"There should be some discipline and manners followed by the AAP. They are behaving like unguided missiles with the kind of language they use and, for the habit of accusing anyone of anything without thinking twice," said Naqvi.
"They should understand that they cannot behave in this way anymore," he said.
"Till now the media was giving them so much positive publicity, and appreciating their actions, so was all that paid?" he added.
BJP leader Vijay Goel on Friday met the Lt. Governor to demand the resignation of Bharti for his vigilante-style action against Ugandan women during a night raid in the capital.
BJP leaders also protested at 14 different places of the national capital on Friday, demanding Bharti's resignation.
