The president of the Delhi unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Satish Upadhyay on Sunday lashed out at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) over the funding issue saying that the party has broken people's dreams.

"People analyse the party on its work. There is maladministration in Delhi for the last seven months, their MLAs and ministers are going to jail, they have deceived the people of Delhi, dengue is spreading in Delhi and they are busy lowering the age for consuming alcohol," Upadhyay told ANI.

"People are disappointed by seeing the government's priorities and that is why they have lost faith in it. Delhi is not progressing and they (AAP) have done nothing except putting allegations on the central government and the police. They have broken people's dreams and that is why they are upset with the party," he added.

The party is facing a severe shortage of funds and is expected to launch a major fund raising campaign in the coming days.

In a national executive meeting that was convened on Thursday, it was decided that senior party functionary Kumar Vishwas will lead the campaign to raise funds.
