Bengaluru: Union minister Prakash Javadekar on Saturday said the recent happenings in the AAP government in Delhi had exposed its failure to fulfil the promises its leaders had made to the people.
He also suggested the opposition parties to move away from negative politics. “As far as what is happening in the AAP government, it has actually exposed them of what they promised and what they are delivering. Therefore people are already upset with them and that is what is on display,” he told reporters here.
The Union human resource development minister’s comments come in the wake of AAP MLA Kapil Mishra levelling bribery charge against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
On the Electronic Voting Machine (EVMs) alleged tampering issue, Javadekar said opposition parties, instead of making excuses, must move away from negative politics and realise the ground realities.
“In Punjab the Congress won. In 2007 and 2012, SP and Mayawati won when EVMs were in vogue. Even AAP won the elections through EVms. Now, they are making excuses. This is called negative politics,” he said.
Javadekar said the opposition should realise what is happening on the ground. Since they were not doing it, they were getting isolated, he added. He also said the opposition parties should understand that they are getting defeated because of playing caste and divisive politics, when, on the other hand, they should be playing politics of development.
