Kejriwal should get himself checked up mentally, says BJP on his horse-trading charge

A day after Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal had accused the BJP of indulging in horse-trading to form the government in Delhi, the Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday said Kejriwal should get himself checked up mentally.

Delhi BJP leader and MP Ramesh Bidhuri described Kejriwal as a frustrated man.

"This is the frustration of Arvind Kejriwal. He should shave filed his complaint before the police. The BJP has formed the government at the Centre to serve the country, and is not in it for power," he added.

The AAP on Tuesday released a recorded audio message of Kejriwal accusing the BJP of indulging in horse-trading to form the government in Delhi.

"The BJP is resorting to dishonest and highly unethical methods to form the government by offering Rs.20 crore each to many MLAs," said the message in Hindi.

Delhi has been under President's rule since February when Kejriwal resigned from the post of chief minister after his 49-day-old government failed to table its Jan Lokpal Bill in the state assembly.

The Assembly has been under suspended animation ever since and no party has staked claim to form the government.

BJP had won 31 seats in the Delhi Assembly polls of December last year but its number has come down to 28 in the 70-member house as three of its MLAs - Harsh Vardhan, Ramesh Bidhuri and Pervesh Verma - were elected to Lok Sabha in the recent general elections.
