AAP-BJP sealing drive meet breaks into ruckus, Manoj Tiwari files complaint against Kejriwal for 'insulting him'

Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari, alongwith his party members, visited Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence earlier today.

The meeting's primary agenda was to discuss the ongoing sealing drive against properties for alleged violations of civic norms.

Kejriwal allowed the presence of media at the discussion noting that the debate must happen in the presence of media.

Manoj Tiwari noted that Kejriwal did not address the matter, rather his (AAP) party leaders insulted Tiwari.

"We sought your time quite a lot of time to carry out the discussion. Today you called the entire media sector here... Why has the notification of 351 roads not happened so far? And, what has happened to the promise of regularising unauthorised colonies? As far as meeting with Lt governor is concerned, we do that whenever we like," Manoj Tiwari noted.

Tiwari has filed a complaint against Delhi CM for "insulting him" and other leaders during the meeting.

"Kejriwal gave me his time and these people (MLAs) insulted me saying that I am giving a lecture," noted Tiwari.

Meanwhile, Delhi CM Kejriwal has decided to move the Supreme Court as the meeting did not yield any resolve to the situation. “BJP should bring an ordinance to ban sealing," Kejriwal noted.

The Kejriwal government will seek a temporary ban on sealing drive.

On Monday, Kejriwal wrote to Delhi Lt Governor Anil Baijal seeking to meet him today, along with all BJP and AAP MLAs to discuss the sealing issue.

Delhi BJP’s general secretary Ravinder Gupta previously wrote to Kejriwal confirming that the party’s Delhi unit president Manoj Tiwari and other leaders will visit Kejriwal's residence at 9 am today to discuss the issue.

The brickbat between the ruling AAP and the BJP has intensified over the sealing drive. While the city is ruled by the AAP government, the BJP controls the municipal corporations.
