New Delhi: Amid reports claiming that Delhi’s tableau did not make the cut for next year’s Republic Day parade, AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday accused central govt of playing politics over the issue.
Kejriwal also slammed BJP, saying that Delhi, being the national capital, should have its tableau included in the parade every year.
“I want to ask them why is Delhi’s tableau being excluded once again this year? Why are the people of Delhi being prevented from participating in the Republic Day celebrations?” Kejriwal asked.
“What kind of politics is this? Why is there so much hatred towards Delhi and its people? Why should the people of Delhi vote for them?”
Hitting back at the AAP chief, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva claimed Kejriwal shows his “true colour” whenever a national festival approaches. “Delhiites have not forgotten 2014 when the city was gearing up to celebrate Republic Day, but Kejriwal tarnished its dignity by staging a protest,” he said.
“Since elections are approaching in Delhi, Kejriwal wants to divert people’s attention from the real issues,” the BJP leader said. TNN
