In his tweets late last night, BJP's Dr Harshvardhan expressed anguish and displeasure at the ongoing row on the Jan Lokpal Bill, which has prompted AAP's Arvind Kejriwal to threaten resignation from the post of Delhi's chief minister. He said that the BJP would not allow Kejriwal to resign, and would see the bill through. Also accusing the chief minister of creating “drama” he asked for the bill to be sent to the assembly.
BJP has never opposed the Jan Lokpal bill but the way political drama is being enacted by Kejriwal by insulting constitution and the laws.
