Congress releases book on Arvind Kejriwal's U-turns during his 49-day tenure as Delhi CM

New Delhi: Raising the political pitch ahead of Delhi Assembly elections, the Congress on Monday released a booklet highlighting U-turns taken by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal during his 49-day tenure as Delhi chief minister.

The booklet cites 16 promises which were left unfulfilled by the former Delhi CM. While releasing the booklet, Congress Delhi election campaign chief Ajay Maken said that along with the list of fake promises, there is also a copy of an affidavit that was signed by Kejriwal before taking charge as the CM.

In the affidavit, he says, "is a list of things that Kejriwal promised that he will not avail as the CM. He said he won't use the red beacon cars. He didn't use it but people all around him used it. He said he won't need security but availed additional security claiming that there were threats and he has been forced to be under security cover."

Maken also said that Kejriwal had promised that he will not take the CM bungalow but in the end took an 8-room lavish home during his tenure.

Congress on Monday also filed its complaint against Kejriwal to the Election Commission for his comments at a rally on Sunday. "Kejriwal's statement is not just irresponsible but is also an insult for the people of Delhi," Maken said.

Kejriwal on Sunday stirred a controversy by asking voters to take money from both the Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party but vote for AAP in the Delhi Assembly elections.
