In a statement here, former minister Bikram Singh Majithia said the blatant lies and perfidy of chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and his coterie had been completely exposed by the Delhi high court which had indicted the AAP government for failing to control the sharp spike in COVID cases in the capital.
“The court has virtually indicted the government for going haywire on the pandemic leaving Arvind Kejriwal no option but to submit his resignation. His position has become untenable now”, he said.
Holding Kejriwal directly responsible for causing misery to crores of people, Mr Bikram Majithia said the chief minister sold lies and deceived the people of Delhi by projecting a false picture of all is well even as thousands of lives were snuffed out due to mismanagement of the entire crisis.

Asserting that the Delhi high court was absolutely right while observing that Kejriwal had taken the people of Delhi for a ride, Mr Majithia said the much hyped 5 T plan of the AAP government was nothing but a gimmick. “The plan promised testing, tracing, treatment, teamwork and tracking to limit the growing number of cases but did nothing on the ground. In fact Kejriwal himself dealt a blow to the testing programme by stating asymptomatic people should not get themselves tested despite knowing full well that there were asymptomatic and ran the risk of infecting others”.
Mr Majithia said this was not all. “The much hyped app of the Delhi government shows a mismatch between the app data and the ground reality with the availability of beds shown on the app not matching with that on the ground”. He said Kejriwal had also demoralized the medical fraternity by issuing warnings to doctors and threatening hospital managements.
“On top of this he has failed to release the salaries of doctors, paramedical staff and safai karamcharis which is condemnable”, Mr Majithia added.
