Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh): Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati on Tuesday slammed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) over Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's resignation, terming it as "election ploy" and political maneuvering away from public welfare.
Taking to her X handle, the former Uttar Pradesh CM questioned as to who will be made accountable for the problems faced by people of Delhi due to Kejriwal's long stay in jail.
1. श्री अरविन्द केजरीवाल द्वारा दिल्ली के सीएम पद से अब इस्तीफा देना वास्तव में जनहित/जनकल्याण से दूर इनकी चुनावी चाल व राजनीतिक पैंतरेबाजी, किन्तु उनके लम्बे समय तक जेल में रहने के कारण दिल्ली की जनता ने जो अनगिनत असुविधाएं व समस्याएं झेलीं हैं उसका क्या? उसका हिसाब कौन देगा?

"Shri Arvind Kejriwal's resignation from the post of Delhi CM is actually his electoral ploy and political manoeuvring away from public interest/people's welfare, but what about the innumerable inconveniences and problems faced by the people of Delhi due to his long stay in jail? Who will give account of that?"
In her next tweet, Mayawati recalled the days when the Congress-led Centre created roadblocks in major projects and development work.
2. सत्ता व विपक्ष के बीच राजनीतिक लड़ाई शत्रुता स्तर तक कटू नहीं हो तो बेहतर ताकि उससे देश व जनहित प्रभावित ना हो। बीएसपी की यूपी सरकार को भी ऐसे दिन देखने पड़े जब केन्द्र की कांग्रेसी सरकार ने जेवर एयरपोर्ट व गंगा एक्सप्रेस-वे पर भी रोड़े अटकाए और जनहित व विकास को बाधित किया।

"It would be better if the political fight between the ruling party and the opposition is not bitter to the level of enmity so that the country and public interest are not affected by it. The BSP government of UP also had to see such days when the Congress government at the Centre also obstructed the Jewar Airport and Ganga Expressway and obstructed public interest and development".
