Allegations On Kejriwal Due To Rift Over Rajya Sabha Seat: Rakesh Tikait Slams Kumar Vishwas
“He (Arvind Kejriwal) is an agitator, but doesn't seem to be so... Kumar Vishwas was in his party. They had a rift over Rajya Sabha (seat),” said Tikait.
New Delhi: Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait on Saturday said former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Kumar Vishwas has levelled separatist allegations against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal since he did not get a Rajya Sabha seat.
“He (Arvind Kejriwal) is an agitator, but doesn't seem to be so... Kumar Vishwas was in his party. They had a rift over Rajya Sabha (seat),” said Tikait.
“Since he didn’t get the Rajya Sabha (seat), that's why these allegations,” he added, ANI reported.
Earlier on Friday, Vishwas claimed there is threat to his life as he has been asked to stay out of the Punjab Assembly elections.
“Who are these people who are threatening that “you stay out of Punjab elections, otherwise we will do this, we will do that”. What is at stake for them? So listen strangers and native pythons – wrapped in lies, what do you think about the rest of the truth? coming out of the bill on the sound of a serpent. what do you understand about the life of a flute?” he tweeted in Hindi.
Vishwas, one of the founding members of the AAP, had earlier claimed that Kejriwal was ready to take support from the fringe and separatist elements to become the chief minister of Punjab.
Kejriwal countered the assertions of Vishwas in an exclusive interview with ABP News.
“They have no idea what kind of impact these statements do (separatist comment) on community. It divides the nation,” said Kejriwal.
“If I have been planning such for 10 years as alleged then why didn't PM Modi or other government agencies take action against me?” he asked.
The AAP national convener said “they (opposition parties) are calling me terrorist for gaining vote bank”.
“I want to ask these parties what have they done so far? Akali Dal, Congress, all calling me a terrorist as part of the poll agenda. If they would have worked for people during their regimes they would not have stooped for such antics,” Kejriwal added.
Voting for the Punjab Assembly will be held in a single phase on February 20. The results will be declared on March 10.
