‘BJP conspiring to topple Delhi govt through President’s Rule’, alleges Atishi

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday slammed the BJP for seeking the dismissal of the Delhi government from President Droupadi Murmu.

The principal Opposition party responded by claiming that the government had lost the right to remain in power after “repeated violations of Constitutional norms”.

The demand was made by a BJP delegation during a meeting with the President on August 30. The party also submitted a memorandum to Ms. Murmu, claiming that Delhi was facing a “constitutional crisis” in the absence of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is lodged in Tihar Jail following his arrest by Central probe agencies in corruption cases.
