BJP should make conman Sukesh its national president, says Kejriwal

Taking a swipe at the BJP, Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal accused conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar of working on the directions of the BJP and said the saffron party should make him its national president.

Kejriwal was speaking at the Panchayat Aajtak event in New Delhi's Connaught Place. On being asked about the explosive letters that conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar sent to the Delhi Lieutenant Governor, Kejriwal said, "The BJP has been ruling the Municipal Corporation of Delhi for 15 years. It has been ruling Gujarat for 27 years. If you got to ask them what they have done all these years, the BJP will not have any answer. Hence, they have come with the love letter of conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar."

Claiming how Sukesh is dancing to the tunes of the BJP, the Delhi Chief Minister said the BJP should make the conman their star campaigner and send him to Gujarat to campaign for the



party for the upcoming assembly elections.

"Given how Sukesh is dancing to the tunes of the BJP, the BJP should make him its national president," said Kejriwal.

Without taking names of any party, the AAP supremo said all the thugs and criminals of the country go to one party to save themselves and that party assures them of protection. "Right now, Sukesh is doing nothing but batting for the party that is providing him protection," said Kejriwal.

Conman Sukesh Chandrashekher had written to Delhi's Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena that Satyender Jain, who is currently lodged in Tihar jail in a money laundering case, had asked him to pay Rs 10 crore to provide him protection inside the prison complex. The conman also alleged that the AAP has asked him to pay Rs 50 crore in lieu of a party post in southern India and arrange a team of people who would further the AAP's prospects in the south.
