The Delhi BJP has lodged two separate complaints against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in objection to alleged inappropriate statements made by him against the BJP and the Election Commission (EC), the party’s State unit chief Manoj Tiwari said on Saturday.

One complaint raises objection to Mr. Kejriwal’s statement terming the Election Commission as Dhritrastra and the BJP as Duryodhan .

“In the other complaint, filed in the Sansad Marg police station and with the State Election Commissioner, objection has been raised on the misleading charge levelled by Mr. Kejriwal and the Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia against the BJP regarding hike in power and water tariffs,” said Mr. Tiwari.

Meanwhile, during a meeting at a c haupal in Munirka village in support of BJP Candidate Bhagat Singh Tokas, New Delhi MP Meenakshi Lekhi said that the BJP was trying to make Delhi a smart city and the first phase would be completed by the end of 2018 by making all the services of the corporations available online.

At the meeting, a candidate of the Aam Aadmi Party in the 2016 by-election, Sunita Tokas, joined the BJP.

Meanwhile, the BJP's disciplinary committee expelled 21 workers for “indulging in anti-party activities”.
