Rebel AAP MLA Pankaj Pushkar today alleged that he was not invited to a high-level meeting of legislators and officials called by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia over spurt of dengue and chikungunya in the city, saying it was a "criminal mistake".

"I am surprised that I was not called for the meeting as like the whole of Delhi, people of my constituency are also suffering from dengue, chikungunya and insanitation. Not calling me for the meeting is a criminal mistake on the part of Deputy CM office," Pushkar said in a statement.

Pushkar sought a reply from Sisodia whether not calling him to the meeting was a chance error or an action caused by "political ill-will".
 

"Not calling an elected representative of people to the official meeting is akin to the Prime Minister not calling Kejirwal to any meet of Chief Ministers," he said.

He also questioned Kejriwal and Sisodia whether they have given him time for a meeting as an MLA of Timarpur and whether he gets invitiations to participate in official meetings.

Pushkar also hinted that he was not invited to official meetings as he was raising issues related to Swaraj, Janlokpal, liquor vends and education in Delhi.
