The Bharatiya Janata Party's Delhi unit on Sunday held a 'sharab se sheesh mahal' campaign against the ruling Aam Aadmi Party in the national capital over after the arrest of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a money laundering case linked to the liquor policy case.
The protest was attended by Delhi BJP chief Virendraa Sachdeva who said that the campaign is the story of corruption in Delhi for which Kejriwal is guilty.
"We are showing the corruption model of Arvind Kejriwal...People of Delhi can see Red Fort, Qutb Minar, Akshardham temple, Lotus Temple, Kartavya Path, but cannot see the CM's scum of corruption as they cannot go inside it (Kejriwal's Raj Mahal)...The story of 'Sharab to Sheesh is the story of Delhi corruption and the guilty is Arvind Kejriwal...," he said.
Last year, the BJP protested againt the renovation of Kerjiwal's residence which reportedly came at a cost of Rs 45 crore. While the AAP defended itself, the saffron camp attacked for misuse of funds calling the residence as "sheesh mahal".
The BJP's campaign comes on a same day when the AAP top leaders are holding collective fast to protest against Kerjiwal's arrest.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann joined a collective fast at freedom fighter Bhagat Singh's village Khatkar Kalan, according to a PTI report.
