Panaji: Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal today said he would not even spare his own children if they were found to be involved in illegalities.
"Tomorrow even if my child is involved in illegality, I will not spare him (and) I will take stringent action against him," Kejriwal said addressing a public meeting.
kicking off the The Aam Aadmi Party's campaign for the Goa Assembly polls scheduled to be held in 2017, Kejriwal recalled how the AAP government (in Delhi) had dismissed its own Food minister from the Cabinet after he was caught demanding bribe.
In his 40-minute speech, Kejriwal touched on the issue of liquor baron Vijay Mallya's debt to the banks. The Delhi Chief Minister alleged that Congress had given Rs 9,000 crore subsidy to Mallya.
"We gave (electricity) subsidy of Rs 1,400 crore which benefited 36 lakh families (in Delhi). But the Congress kept on criticising AAP government for the subsidy. We gave subsidy to help the common men, while Congress gave Rs 9,000 crore subsidy and that too for one person, Vijay Mallya," he alleged.
Taking a dig at BJP, Kejriwal said, "when the party came to power (at the Centre) they allowed him (Mallya) to run away so that he is not caught."
"Then government was not heeding to the demand of the people that private firms providing electricity to Delhi were running scams. But when we came to power, we did the audit of their accounts through CAG which revealed Rs 8,000 crore scam," Kejriwal claimed.
