Targeting the Arvind Kejriwal-led government, Congress today said the "jhooti sarkar" of Delhi had failed to keep its promises made to the people within the first 100 days of its governance.

Claiming that AAP had become "khas" (special) from "aam" (common), the Congress accused the party of betraying its founding principles, besides failing on various aspects of governance, including development, price rise, women safety and justice to poor and weaker sections.

The Congress also released a 16-page booklet titled '100 din paar Delhi mein jhoothi sarkar' (100 days over, dishonest government in Delhi) which listed the "failures" of the AAP government, which completed 100 days in office yesterday.
 

The cover page of the booklet carried a graphic depicting a crow biting Kejriwal on his head.

"We all know what happens to a man who speaks a lie. We all have heard the song from Bobby film. We all know the saying, what more I can say? People will see the cover picture and will automatically understand what it is," Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken said referring to the "jhooth bole kauaa kaate" song from the old Bollywood flick.

Accusing AAP of having different criteria to gauge transparency, Maken said, "The AAP-led government held open cabinet meeting yesterday at Connaught Place patting itself on "transparency. Today, we want to ask you... You pat yourself during cabinet meeting in front of all, but during national council meeting you insulted Anant Kumar, Yogendra Yadav and threw them out."

"You did not allow people to enter, did not allow anyone to take phone along with. So, your criteria for yourself is one and for others it is different," he said.
