Delhi Congress on Wednesday released a 12-point white paper targeting the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the BJP over their alleged unkept promises and mismanagement on various issues like pollution, civic facilities, and law and order. Addressing a press conference, Congress leader Ajay Maken lashed out at the AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal and said that his party came to power riding on the Janlokpal agitation but has failed to set up the anti-corruption ombudsman.
"If there is one word to describe former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal here then it would be Farziwal," he said while releasing the white paper titled "Mauka Mauka, Har Baar Dhoka".
"If anyone is the king of fraud in the entire country then it is Kejriwal and that is why we have come here with a white paper on the Kejriwal government and also on the BJP government at the Centre," Maken said.
There was no reaction from the AAP and the BJP on the remarks made by the Congress leader.
The senior Congress leader, Maken, questioned why the Janlokpal had not been formed even in Punjab. "If LG is not allowing you here, then make it in Punjab. Who is stopping you? You have a full-fledged government there, why don't you make it there? This is just an excuse. The party (AAP) was formed 10 years ago in the name of Janlokpal, now they have forgotten it,” he said.
He said that AAP also used to say that they would make Delhi like London.
"They have made the national capital number 1 in pollution," he said.
Maken also said that forming an alliance with AAP was a "mistake" that should be rectified, and went on to add that it was his personal opinion.
"I feel that today the plight of Delhi and that the Congress got weakened here is only because of the fact that we supported AAP for 40 days in 2013.

"Today, this is one of the biggest reasons for the plight of Delhi. And I believe that perhaps a mistake has been made again in Delhi by making the alliance, which needs to be rectified," he said.
