Delhi government reaches out to BJP spokesperson for defamation
Party to issue legal notice for 'slanderous' remarks against CM Kejriwal, AAP
AAP alleges BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi made baseless accusations, demands apology
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi is set to issue a legal notice to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi for allegedly making defamatory remarks against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the party.
Trivedi had accused Kejriwal of corruption and nepotism, and alleged that the AAP government was involved in a "scam" related to the construction of new classrooms in Delhi schools.
The AAP has strongly denied the allegations and termed them as "baseless and slanderous". Party spokesperson Saurabh Bhardwaj said that the BJP was trying to divert attention from its own failures by making false accusations against the AAP.
"The BJP has no proof to support its claims. They are simply trying to defame the AAP and CM Kejriwal because they are afraid of our growing popularity," Bhardwaj said.
The AAP has demanded an apology from Trivedi and threatened to take legal action if he fails to do so.
"We will not tolerate such slanderous attacks on our party and our leaders. We will take all necessary legal steps to protect our reputation," Bhardwaj said.
Here is a timeline of the events leading up to the AAP's decision to issue a legal notice to BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi:
- On August 10, Trivedi accused Kejriwal of corruption and nepotism in a press conference.
- On August 11, the AAP denied the allegations and demanded an apology from Trivedi.
- On August 12, Trivedi refused to apologize and repeated his allegations.
- On August 13, the AAP announced that it would issue a legal notice to Trivedi for defamation.
The AAP's decision to issue a legal notice to Trivedi has drawn mixed reactions from political analysts.
Some analysts believe that the AAP is right to take legal action against Trivedi for making baseless and defamatory remarks.
Others believe that the AAP's decision to issue a legal notice could backfire and lead to further negative publicity for the party.
It remains to be seen how the legal battle between the AAP and Trivedi will play out. However, one thing is for sure: the defamation case is likely to further damage the already strained relationship between the two parties.
