New Delhi, May 19

Delhi BJP leader Vijender Gupta today lodged a police complaint against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia accusing them of hatching a conspiracy to falsely implicate him in criminal cases.

The Rohini MLA's claim comes a day after Kejriwal had alleged that the BJP would get him assassinated by his personal security officer (PSO), the way former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was killed.

"Kejriwal and Sisodia are hatching a larger conspiracy against me to falsely implicate me in criminal cases," Gupta said in his complaint submitted at the Parliament Street Police Station here.

According to police, they have received the complaint and will take required action accordingly.

The Delhi BJP on Saturday accused Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of playing politics over the "serious" matter of security and making false allegations against it for "cheap popularity", after he claimed that there was threat to this life from the saffron party.

The party questioned why the AAP chief did not file a police complaint if he had doubts about the integrity of his PSO and said he has insulted police personnel.

The BJP's reaction came after Kejriwal said, "The BJP would get me murdered by my PSO one day like Indira Gandhi. My security officers report to the BJP. The BJP is after my life, they will murder me one day," Kejriwal told a news channel in Punjab.

Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta condemned Kejriwal's remarks.

"On May 4, before he was slapped, Kejriwal had told his Liasoning Officer to remove security from his vehicle. His instruction is entered in Roznamcha, which I had exposed earlier. After failing to get political advantage of this incident in the elections, Kejriwal is now saying that his PSO reports to the BJP," Gupta alleged.

The BJP leader said it is unfortunate that Kejriwal is taking such a serious matter of security lightly and playing politics by making statements in the media.

As he has made no complaint to the police, he is only trying to get cheap popularity and distracting the attention of the people by making such statements in media, he alleged. He said Kejriwal should report the matter to the police instead of making false allegations against the BJP, so that police can take immediate action on the complaint.

"Kejriwal has been accusing the BJP and others several times in the past and later apologised also for making those false allegations. Despite this, he continues to make such false allegations," he said.

He claimed the AAP supremo moves with the "highest security cover".
