Replacing sitting MPs, mere theatrics by BJP, says AAP

WITH BJP replacing four sitting MPs in the city for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday alleged that it is a “recurrent pattern” of the saffron party of fielding “incompetent candidates” and later staging a “theatric” over the candidate change.

“BJP has formed a pattern, first to give tickets to anyone in the elections. If they (candidates) accidentally win, then run away from people and work, and after five years, fool the voters by telling them that it was not the party, but the candidate who is responsible,” Delhi cabinet minister Atishi said in a press conference.

Barring North East Delhi, where the BJP has named Manoj Tiwari for a third term, the saffron party has fielded new faces from four constituencies—New Delhi (Swaraj), West Delhi (Kamaljeet Sehrawat), South Delhi (Ramvir Singh Bidhuri) and Chandni Chowk (Praveen Khandelwal).
