Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari on Saturday said Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has a record of willfully committing mistakes and then seeking an
apology.
His remarks came after Kejriwal admitted that his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) made “mistakes” and that there was a need to “introspect” and “course correct”.
“If you look back, whether it was fighting the lok Sabha elections or forming a government in Delhi for 49 days, he has been knowingly committing mistakes and pulling the stunt of apologising,” Tiwari said.
The AAP has suffered a string of defeats for the last two months. It performed far below expectations in Punjab, drew a blank in Goa, forfeited its deposit in the
Rajouri Garden bypoll and lost miserably in MCD
polls.
Breaking his silence over back-to-back defeats, Kejriwal said based on his interactions with “volunteers and voters”, it was obvious that the party made mistakes and there was a need to go back to the “drawing board”.
Till now, he had been blaming Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) for the party’s rout in polls. Some of the AAP leaders, including Kumar Vishwas and lok Sabha MP Bhagwant Mann, have even suggested the party to desist from holding EVMs as the sole reason for its drubbings, Tiwari said.
