Milind Deora comes under attack from Ajay Maken for praising Kejriwal govt
This comes days after Deora had refuted Congress Delhi-in charge PC Chacko's statements, blaming late Sheila Dikshit for the party's humiliating performance in the recently held Assembly elections in the national capital.
New Delhi: Congress leader Milind Deora came under attack from his party colleague, Ajay Maken for praising Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, on the day of his swearing-in for the third term in the national capital.
Praising Kejriwal govt Milind Deora tweeted
“Sharing a lesser-known and welcome fact — the Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi Government doubled its revenues to Rs 60,000 crore and maintained a revenue surplus over the last 5 years. Food for thought: Delhi is now one of India’s most fiscally prudent governments,” Deora’s tweet on Sunday read.
However, Ajay Maken, who has also served as the Speaker of the Delhi Assembly in the past, asked Deora to “leave Congress” before propagating “half-baked facts.”

Brother, I would never undermine Sheila Dikshit’s stellar performance as Delhi CM. That’s your specialty.
But it’s never too late to change!
Instead of advocating an alliance with AAP, if only you had highlighted Sheila ji’s achievements, @INCIndia would’ve been in power today https://t.co/aiZYdizdUL

Alka lamba too jumped into Maken-Deora Twitter spat and said
पार्टी के भीतर या फिर बाहर सिर्फ और सिर्फ उन्हें ही आवाज़ उठाने का, पद-टिकट पाने का अधिकार होना चाहिए जो @priyankagandhi की तरह पूरी तरह से समर्पित होकर, अपना आराम-चैन छोड़कर पार्टी और जनता के लिए सड़कों पर आंदोलित हो,
बाकियों के लिए बेहतर होगा अगर वह अपनी जुबान बंद ही रखें तो?.— Alka Lamba – अलका लाम्बा?? (@LambaAlka) February 17, 2020
“Sheila Dikshit ji was a remarkable politician & administrator. During her tenure as Chief Minister, Delhi was transformed and Congress was stronger than ever. Unfortunate to see her being blamed after her death. She dedicated her life to INC India and the people of Delhi,” Deora had tweeted, with a snippet of Chacko’s statement embedded. (ANI)
