Delhi Congress Chief Criticizes Kejriwal Government’s “Blame Game” Approach
By A Staff Reporter
New Delhi — Delhi Congress President Devender Yadav expressed frustration over what he described as the Kejriwal government’s persistent “blame game” rather than effective governance. Yadav stated that in its ten years of administration, the Delhi government has often pointed fingers at other parties, leaders, or states whenever issues arise, rather than addressing them directly. His comments reflect the Congress party’s growing dissatisfaction with the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) handling of governance in the capital.
According to Yadav, while citizens expect the government to listen to their grievances and provide solutions, Delhi residents have instead witnessed a pattern of deflection. “Be it Prime Minister Narendra Modi or Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, the need of the hour was to listen to the people and solve their problems,” he remarked, highlighting that Delhi’s challenges require accountability from its leaders.
Yadav pointed to the Delhi government’s approach to the city’s air pollution crisis as a case in point. In previous years, the government attributed much of Delhi’s pollution to crop stubble burning in Punjab. However, since the AAP assumed power in Punjab, the blame has shifted primarily to neighboring Haryana. “If they cannot run the government, they have to own it and resign,” Yadav asserted, emphasizing the need for responsibility.
Additionally, Yadav criticized the lack of timely action for Chhath Puja preparations, with tenders for arrangements reportedly delayed in some areas. He stated that the government’s focus should be on delivering services and meeting the needs of Delhi’s communities, rather than deflecting blame for perceived inefficiencies.
