Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh) [India], February 25 (ANI): Following allegations by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government in Delhi removed pictures of Dr Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar and Bhagat Singh from the Chief Minister's office, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari said that AAP had ruined Delhi over the past 11 years and now have no other way except to spread confusion.
"These (AAP) are the people who ruined Delhi in the last 11 years. Now, they have no other way except to spread confusion, but Delhi is not going to be confused. We are the people who follow the path of Babasaheb Ambedkar and Bhagat Singh ji," Tiwari told ANI.
"Wo log chitr to lagate rahe lekin charitra nahi tha unmein (Those people kept putting up pictures but they did not have character)" the BJP MP added.
On Monday, AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal claimed the new BJP-led government had hurt millions of BR Ambedkar followers by removing a photograph of the country's first Law Minister from the office of the Delhi Chief Minister.
In his X post, the former Delhi chief minister wrote, "The new BJP government of Delhi removed Babasaheb's photo and put up the photo of Prime Minister Modi. This is not right. This has hurt millions of followers of Babasaheb".
The AAP supremo further requested the BJP not to remove Ambedkar's photo, saying, "I have a request to BJP. You can put the photo of the Prime Minister but do not remove the photo of Babasaheb. Let his photo remain there."
Former Delhi Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly, Atishi, accused the BJP of having an anti-Dalit and anti-Sikh mentality.
Atishi in a post on X said, "BJP has shown its true anti-Dalit and anti-Sikh face. Photos of Babasaheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar and Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh have been removed from the Chief Minister's Office of Delhi Legislative Assembly."
However, the Delhi unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party refuted the Aam Aadmi Party's claims and showed that Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta's chambers do indeed have portraits of Babasaheb Ambedkar and Bhagat Singh, despite the Opposition alleging the opposite.
The Delhi BJP's X post posted pictures of the Delhi CM's chambers. It read, "The chambers of the Chief Minister of Delhi, @gupta_rekha and all the ministers are adorned with the pictures of revered Mahatma Gandhi, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar, Bhagat Singh, the President and the Prime Minister."
