NEW DELHI: Union law minister Kapil Sibal today said that the Delhi chief minister should either provide proof or resign from his post. Kapil Sibal said, I will quit if a single charge of corruption is proven against me.
The Union law minister also added that Kejriwal is deliberately trying to irk Congress and provoke it into withdrawing support to the APP government.
Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday named over 20 top politicians including Congress leader Rahul Gandhi as corrupt, and attacked him and BJP’s Narendra Modi for spending crores on creating a brand.
Reading out what seemed to be a prepared list at a packed auditorium at the Constitution Club, Kejriwal said he had a list of “corrupt people” in politics. I have made a list of corrupt people. This is just the beginning and the list will grow. I am presenting the names to you, and you decide whether these people should be elected to parliament or not.
Kejriwal went on to name former BJP president Nitin Gadkari, cabinet ministers Sushikumar Shinde, P Chidambaram, Salman Khurshid, M Veerappa Moily, Kapil Sibal, Kamal Nath, Sriprakash Jaiswal, Praful Patel and Sharad Pawar, Congress MP Suresh Kalmadi, BSP chief Mayawati, Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav, central minister Farooq Abdullah, Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi, DMK’s Kanimozhi, BJP’s Ananth Kumar and B.S. Yeddyurappa and BJP MP Anurag Thakur.
As he finished reading the list, the nearly 400 AAP leaders and senior members gathered from all over India roared “No!” in unison in response to his earlier question whether these people should be voted to Parliament.
