BJP today slammed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for putting the names of party president Rajnath Singh and senior leader Nitin Gadkari in the list of "corrupt leaders".

"I want to ask Arvind Kejriwal why he has not included his own name at the top. His government is sitting on the shoulders of the corrupt Congress party in Delhi," senior BJP leader Ravishankar Prasad said here, talking to reporters.

"Why doesn't he write to the Lt Governor of Delhi saying that we do not want support from Congress? He criticises Congress all the time, then why is he not rejecting their support?" the BJP leader said.

Prasad said that Kejriwal should put his name at the top as he was making use of all the means to be in power and to be the Chief Minister.

He also questioned why the name of former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit was not included in the list, when CWG and Delhi Jal Board scams took place during her tenure.

The AAP leader today come out with a list of "corrupt leaders" from across the parties, including Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi, and said AAP would put up candidates against these leaders in the Lok Sabha elections.
