The Congress on Saturday pulled out an affidavit, distributed by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal in June 2013, to corner him underlining that it was one of the examples how the AAP took u-turns on most of things the party promised, and the high moral grounds they took ahead of the polls.
Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters, All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary Ajay Maken, who has recently been appointed campaign committee chief for Delhi polls, released the affidavit bearing Mr. Kejriwal's signature which was widely circulated by him in addition to all other AAP candidates in run up to the 2013 Assembly polls.
It was in the affidavit that the AAP chief had sworn not to use red beacon, not to take unnecessary security, nor go in for a big bungalow and to live in an ordinary house like the common man.
After becoming chief minister, however, Mr. Maken said, Mr. Kejriwal went back on his words and availed all facilities that come with the CM's chair.
The former union minister said the Congress would release a booklet to “expose Mr. Kejriwal and his party” on Monday.
The booklet would prove that Mr. Kejriwal was “a leader specialising in U-turns” and whose 49-days at the helm of Delhi's governance was but “a tale of miseries for the people of Delhi”.
