The BJP on Thursday demanded the lieutenant governor’s intervention into renaming of official ‘CMO Delhi’ handle on X to ‘Arvind Kejriwal At Work’ allegedly at the behest of the former chief minister.
ย
The BJP must stop making “baseless allegations” and focus on governing Delhi, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said in a statement.
Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva demanded Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena to seek a report from the IT department of the government on renaming of the ‘CMO Delhi’ handle on X and its alleged use for putting up posts of former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
ย
The BJP has returned to power in Delhi after 26 years, defeating the AAP in February 5 assembly polls. The party’s government is yet to be formed.
ย
“It would not be an exaggeration to say that as soon as his corrupt government collapsed, Arvind Kejriwal has also become a digital looter, Sachdeva charged.
ย
He strongly condemned Kejriwal for allegedly renaming the official handle created by using public funds for his own use.
ย
Demanding the LG to stop the use of the Official “CMO Delhi” handle allegedly by Kejriwal, Sachdeva said that around one million people were its followers.
ย
“By orchestrating this digital heist, Arvind Kejriwal has not only misused government resources but also compromised peoples’ private information, for which he must face legal action,” he demanded.
ย
Newly elected BJP MLA Vijender Gupta said the truth about Kejriwal was coming out. He charged in a post on X that the AAP removed the video from the official YouTube channel of the Delhi government.
ย
“Kejriwal has made a futile attempt to hide his failures by removing old videos of assembly sessions and government programmes from the official YouTube channel of the Delhi government,” Gupta charged in a statement.
ย
The same Kejriwal, who used to talk about transparency, is today getting government digital documents deleted for fear of his “lies and failures” being exposed, he added.ย
