A day ahead of Delhi's Budget Session, BJP today charged the AAP dispensation with rampant "violation" of constitutional norms and said it would corner the government in the Assembly over a host of issues including a former law minister's alleged fake degree case and power.
The rival party also warned the Arvind Kejriwal government against the use of "strong arm-tactics" like deployment of marshalls inside the Assembly, saying such methods does not "scare" the party's MLAs and threatened to launch a "large-scale protests".
As per Leader of Opposition Vijender Gupta, the party has prepared a strategy to attack the government, by highlighting its "ineptness" and "hypocrisy", both inside and outside the House, during the six-day-long session that starts tomorrow.
The party that has three MLAs in the 70-member House, is eyeing to corner the AAP dispensation over former law minister Jitender Singh Tomar's alleged fake degree case, and issues pertaining to power, water, and the municipal corporations.
Gupta accused AAP of using its "brute majority" to "violate and subvert all established constitutional norms and practises".
"We want the chief minister to state his position on his minister's fake degree by making a statement in the floor of the House," Gupta said.
Decrying the government for not appointing Lokayukta, he also sought to know as to why the anti-corruption branch was not registering cases against AAP MLAs, who he alleged have "serious charges against them".
"Why is the ACB not opening the files against the MLAs? Why did not it act against Tomar, Vishesh Ravi and Surinder Singh? If Lokayukta was here, they would have been indicted of corruption like Sheila Dikshit," Gupta claimed.
BJP's South Delhi MP Ramesh Bidhuri vowed to "expose" the government's alleged "hypocrisy" of providing perks and benefits to the 21 Parliamentary Secretaries while keeping them "out of the purview" of office of profit clause.
Bidhuri also spoke of the party's decision to demonstrate outside the Assembly premises till the Fourth State Finance Commission "is tabled" in the House, claiming its non- implementation had resulted in the recent crisis in the three civic bodies in the city.
