New Delhi: AAP and BJP on Saturday hit out at Robert Vadra for criticising the even-odd vehicle scheme in Delhi and accused him of being a “hypocrite” as he himself enjoyed the privileges of a VIP.
Vadra has criticised and termed as “complete hypocrisy” the exemptions granted to vehicles of VIPs by Delhi government in its ‘even-odd scheme’ to control pollution, saying all must adhere to the law.
While AAP asked the Congress President’s son-in-law to help in the success of the initiative aimed at bringing pollution under check, BJP said it was ironic and raised more questions.
“He is the biggest hypocrite and he is talking about hypocrisy. He should say what good or productive he has done for the society until now. Instead of commenting on the policy, it would be good if he makes any contribution to make Delhi government’s initiative successful,” AAP’s Delhi unit convenor Dilip Pandey said at a news conference here.
Congress, however, said Vadra was only airing the views of Delhiites as no alternative transport facilities have been created while restricting the entry of vehicles in the national capital and accused AAP of promoting VIPs by giving them exemptions.
Taking a jibe at Vadra for talking about equal treatment, BJP spokesperson Nalin Kohli said, “What an irony. Mr Robert Vadra all his life took privileges for not being an ordinary citizen and he is making a comment about exemptions. I think it is an irony and it raises more questions about him.” (PTI)
