Manish Sisodia, a senior Aam Aadmi Party leader and Delhi deputy chief minister has slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party for making immature reasons’ to postpone local body polls in the country’s capital, telling the saffron party to ‘stop sobbing like Congress.’

Sisodia also chastised the BJP for ‘misusing’ government agencies, saying that the party had utilized the Enforcement Directorate and the Central Bureau of Investigation to ‘intimidate MCD (Municipal Corporation of Delhi) personnel so that the civic polls may be postponed.’

The BJP criticized Arvind Kejriwal for ‘starving local bodies’ of finances on Friday. Aadesh Gupta, the Delhi unit chairman, and Smriti Irani, a federal minister, alleged the Kejriwal government owed civic entities in the centre of the country $13,000 crore. “Kejriwal is depriving local bodies of finances, which is undermining democracy at the roots,” Smriti Irani remarked.
