Hitting out at the BJP over its Lok sabha MPs in Delhi, AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj asked the saffron party to issue a white paper on the functioning of its parliamentarians in Delhi during the past decade, before seeking votes in the upcoming polls.

Taking a dig at the BJP LS candidates over what they said about doing in the 100 days if voted to power, Bharadwaj mentioned that they should have also told the people as to what was done by their MPs in the past 10 years.

Bharadwaj, while addressing a press conference here, said: “I, on behalf of the AAP, have 7 questions for the BJP as to where were these 7 MPs in the last 10 years when the Delhiites needed them the most.”

Bharadwaj’s questioned as to what was done by the MPs with regard to stop the sealing of shops in the areas like, Defence Colony, Greater Kailash-I, Greater Kailash-II, South Extension or Rajinder Nagar, where the MCD sealed shops in 2017- 18, he claimed.

He further questioned what was done by the MPs in connection with the demolition drives by the agencies like DDA, L& DO and others, which resulted in leaving almost 3 lakh people without homes, he said.

He also raised the issues such as increasing traffic in the city and also highlighted incidents of crime against women and other criminal activities, further questioning as to what was done by the MPs with regard to the functioning of the police.

AAP leader further claimed that in summers, Haryana stops water supply to Delhi and the quantity of ammonia in water increases, and asked, “Did these MPs from Delhi ever take up the issue with the chief minister of Haryana or raise it in the Parliament.”
