Reacting to the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal led protest demanding suspension of Delhi Police personnel, who have been accused by his administration of dereliction of duty; Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) Prakash Javadekar on Tuesday said that that the protest was a planned conspiracy of the Congress and the AAP.
"I will blame Congress for all the drama that is going on. It is a joint conspiracy of the Congress and AAP, and is the formers attempt to divert attention from corruption allegations on their leaders," said Javadekar.
"The Congress is ready to bring any kind of situation in the country to reduce the popularity of BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi," he said.
"It is a desperate attempt by the Congress to stop the BJP from winning the elections. Eventually, they will apply their exit plan which also must be ready. Through that they will make the AAP heroes again, because they cannot fight the BJP alone," he added.
He further said that Kejriwal had demeaned patriotism through his statement on Republic day.
"The kind of remark that he has made about Republic Day is condemnable. He has insulted it by calling it just a day of 'procession of floats'. He must apologize to the nation," said Javadekar.
