On Monday, Delhi BJP president Adesh Gupta urged social activist Anna Hazare by writing a letter, to join party’s “mass movement” against the government led by AAP, which he alleged was the “new name of social, political and economic corruption.”

Gupta, In his letter, claimed that “political purity” has been destroyed by AAP government and also accused it of “planning” the northeast Delhi riots in February, which had left at least 53 people dead and around 200 injured.

“The Aam Aadmi Party, which came to the government in the name of clean and fair politics, has demolished all the parameters of political purity,” Gupta wrote in his letter to Hazare.

AAP did not give an immediate reaction on Gupta’s letter. BJP has been attacked by AAP, levelling allegations of corruption in the three municipal corporations ruled by the party and also in connection with the riots in the city.

The two sides have been denouncing each other on certain issues, which includes corruption, waterlogging and civic amenities in the city along with the riots, in the run up to the civic body polls due in 2022.

“The people of Delhi have suffered the communal riots planned by the AAP,” Gupta said in his letter.

“The voice of Anna Hazare will have to be raised again for the relief of the youth and for people of Delhi who feel betrayed by the Kejriwal government,” Gupta said.

Kejriwal was known as a frontline leader of the anti-corruption movement launched by Anna Hazare from Ramleela ground in Delhi in 2011.
