Delhi BJP today attacked Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal alleging that he "provoked" employees of municipal corporations to protest outside BJP leaders offices over non-payment of their salaries.

State BJP chief Satish Upadhyay also alleged that Kejriwal was "evading" his responsibilities on the issue of payment of salaries to civic bodies employees.

"The CM's statement shows his anarchism and he is evading responsibility of Delhi government," he said.

While addressing a rally of sanitation workers at the Ramlila Maidan here, the Chief Minister today lambasted the Centre over fund allocation, accusing it of "sucking the blood" of the residents of the national capital.

"I want to tell you (sanitation workers) that I get hurt when you stage protest outside my residence despite knowing the fact that there is BJP in the municipal corporations. They should stage protest outside BJP headquarters, Centre and Union Ministers," he said.
