Congress Releases Booklet Mapping 'U-Turns' by Arvind Kejriwal

New Delhi January 19, 2015 :  The Congress has brought out a booklet on what it calls the "U-turns" of Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal during his 49 days in power in Delhi.Releasing the booklet today, senior Congress leader Ajay Maken said it portrayed the instances of AAP's failure to take responsibility."We are showing a muffler U-turn. From red beacons in government cars to bungalows, there are 16 points of U-turn during their 49 days," said Mr Maken. The booklet is aimed at warning voters how it could be "dangerous" to give power again to AAP, he said.RelatedOne of the key points is Mr Kejriwal's quitting office over the Lokpal Bill issue. "He did not consult the people when he had to quit office, though he had sworn to do just that," Mr Maken said.Alleging that AAP ministers travelled in metro to take oath and then demanded SUVs, and Mr Kejriwal despite claiming to represent the common man, lived in



an eight-room bungalow, Mr Maken questioned how the party could expect Delhi'ites to vote for them.The booklet also contains the ideological contradictions by Mr Kejriwal, who once said, "Everyone who has a dream need not get into politics," Mr Maken added.One of the comments of Mr Kejriwal about paid media is also mentioned. "He says media is the reason why we are where we are. Later, they say the media has been bought over," Mr Maken pointed out."We have to remember all of this when we vote," he added.The Congress has already lodged a complaint with the Election Commission about Mr Kejriwal's yesterday's comments on bribery, which it claims, is an insult to the voters in Delhi.Yesterday, at a campaign rally in Delhi's Uttam Nagar, Mr Kejriwal told people that they should accept bribes from both Congress and the BJP, but vote only for his party."It is an offence to ask voters to take a bribe and vote," Mr Maken said.
