Accusing him of “using his MLAs as puppets” to fight his battles, BJP Rajouri Garden MLA Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Friday blamed “Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of attempting to suppress his voice by slapping false and baseless cases against him”.

“Running away”

Mr. Sirsa said the case filed against him by Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain had once again reaffirmed that Mr. Kejriwal was using his Ministers and colleagues as his puppets while “running away” from facing everything — from cases to solving the problems of the people of Delhi.

“In the present case filed by Mr. Jain, I will urge the court to make Mr. Kejriwal a party as he is the head of the corrupt government and his party. I stand by the allegations levelled by me in the Delhi Assembly against Mr. Jain and Mr. Kejriwal, and will ensure that these highly corrupt people are brought to book and punished,” Mr. Sirsa said at a press conference.

Alleging that Mr. Kejriwal’s utilisation of shell companies “to encash the fake bills” amounted to a clear case of hawala transactions and money laundering, Mr. Sirsa said Mr. Kejriwal should be booked.

“Mr. Kejriwal is only politician in the country who is facing multiple cases of defamation and corruption but is still reluctant to face the same and always tries to find excuses from facing the judiciary. He cannot run away from the judicial process any more and will have to face the music for misuse of power, which people of Delhi had bestowed on him to serve them and help them mitigate their problems,” Mr. Sirsa added.
