Delhi BJP has questioned the "logic" of AAP government's decision to call a session of the Assembly on demonetisation and accused Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of indulging in "political drama" over the issue.
"One fails to understand the logic of calling Delhi Vidhan Sabha session on the issue of demonetisation. Kejriwal has often called Vidhan Sabha sessions on issues with no relation to Delhi Government as a part of his political Nautanki (drama)," said Delhi BJP president Satish Upadhyay.
The reactions of Kejriwal and BSP chief Mayawati on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech in Ghazipur today shows they are "speaking the same language" and are the two "worst- affected" politicians due to demonetisation, Upadhyay said.
The BSP chief described Modi's Ghazipur rally as a "flop show" as "the crowd was brought from neighbouring Bihar".
A Cabinet meeting of Delhi government today decided to hold an emergency session of the Assembly tomorrow to discuss situation arising out of demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes.
