Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva launched a blistering attack on AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday, mocking his recent remark that he should be awarded a Nobel Prize for governance in Delhi.

Addressing a gathering earlier, Kejriwal had declared that despite alleged hurdles from the Lieutenant Governor’s office, his government delivered so much work that he “deserves a Nobel Prize for governance and administration.”

He said: “When our government was in power in Delhi, we were not allowed to work. Still, we delivered. I feel that I should get a Nobel Prize for governance and administration for doing so much despite constant hurdles created by the L-G.”

Reacting sharply, Sachdeva termed Kejriwal’s claim as a “crude joke” and said if there were Nobel Prizes for “incompetence, anarchy and corruption,” the former Delhi CM would have won all three.

“People of Delhi are shocked to hear about Kejriwal demanding a Nobel Prize for himself. His long list of scams — from the Sheesh Mahal construction to the liquor policy — only qualify him for jail, not awards,” Sachdeva said.

He further accused Kejriwal of running multiple scams during his tenure, including the alleged women’s pension scam, panic button scam, Jal Board scam, transport scam, PWD scam involving his brother-in-law, COVID-era irregularities and misuse of surveillance.

Sachdeva also reminded people of Kejriwal’s protest outside the Lieutenant Governor’s residence before Republic Day in 2014 and chaos before Independence Day in 2024, calling them acts of “anarchy”.
