news

The News Minute | October 6, 2014 | 11.55 am IST Delhi MLA of the Aam Aadmi Party Rajesh Garg has written an open letter to party chief Arvind Kejriwal expressing dissatisfaction over the functioning of the party and its demand for fresh elections. Rajesh Garg who was elected from the Rohini (NW) constituency in the Delhi elections has written the open letter through a post in his Facebook page. He questions the party chief as to why rich and corrupt people are being allowed to grow in the party. He says that this causes acute pain to the ordinary workers of the party who had given up everything to join this fight against corruption. He further asks as to why Arvind Kejriwal and another AAP leader Ashutosh are silent on the land scam in which BJP member and resident editor of Punjab Kesari Ashwini Kumar Chopra is involved. â€œYou keep demanding for fresh election in Delhi. Have you ever thought of the agony that will be inflicted on the workers of AAP, people of Delhi and elected members of all parties if the assembly is dissolved?â€ He says that the party must first ask the people if they want a re-election or not. He further criticizes Arvind Kejriwal for resigning. â€œI had been serving the people but now that we are not in power I am not in a position to do anything for the people of Delhi,â€ he says. Delhi needs a government, it does not matter who forms it, he says. â€œCanâ€™t we do good work sitting in opposition,â€ he asks in his letter. He also expresses astonishment as to what the party can tell the people if no party gets a clear majority even after fresh elections are held. Rajesh Garg, had earlier too expressed his disapproval of the demand for fresh elections by not joining all AAP MLAs including Arvind Kejriwal when they had gone to meet the Lt. Governor of Delhi requesting him to dissolve the Delhi Assembly and order for fresh elections. Rajesh Garg was earlier a member of the Congress party and his wife had also contested an election on the Congress party ticket. His phone remained switched off and, therefore, could not be contacted.
