Kejriwal was responding to a tweet by his party’s Rajya Sabha MP, Sushil Gupta, who wrote, “ The future of those who work with hundreds of traders in Delhi is also on the stake, so today CM Arvind Kejriwal has called an all-party, in which the Congress came, but BJP did not attend the meeting. what does BJP want from traders? #StopSealingBJP.”
Among those present from Congress were the party’s Delhi unit chief, Ajay Maken, and Arvinder Singh Lovely. From AAP, among those who were present included AAP’s Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh and MLA Somnath Bharti.
जनता के हित में सकारात्मक राजनीति भी कभी करनी चाहिए।
सीलिंग के मुद्दे का समाधान, दल-गत राजनीति से ऊपर उठ कर ही होगा।
ख़ैर, जैसे-जैसे आप पर से AAP का रंग और उतरेगा आप समझते चले जाएँगे।
