Letters: Douse fire in AAP first

With reference to the report, "Arvind Kejriwal sacks minister Sandeep Kumar over 'objectionable' CD" (September 1), the news must have come as a bolt from the blue for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).Kumar is the third AAP minister in Delhi to be dismissed after Food and Supplies Minister Asim Khan over graft allegations and Law Minister Jitender Tomar for allegedly faking his college degree. The AAP's Punjab Convenor Sucha Singh Chhotepur was also removed for allegedly accepting money in exchange for tickets in the Assembly elections in the state next year.How can the AAP claim to be a political holy cow now? There might well be more skeletons in its cupboard. The party's earlier bright poll prospects might be dealt a severe blow because of these developments. To this add clashes reported between pro- and anti-Kejriwal groups in Amritsar and it does not augur well for a party that is still in its infancy.Chhotepur had openly objected to the declaration of 32 candidates (contained in two sep

Image issue

The recent move of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi to rope in a public relations (PR) firm to "publicise" its work has given the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress more reason to criticise it. "Instead of spending on public welfare, AAP government spends taxpayers' money for professional help to build its image," Ajay Maken, president of the Delhi unit Congress tweeted. Delhi BJP legislator Vijender Gupta said, "Eighteen months after the historic win, the Kejriwal government requires a PR agency and is spending crores to improve its image!" Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who also holds the information and publicity portfolio, defended the government's decision. "Some TV channels are saying the AAP government has spent Rs 200 crore to hire a PR agency," he said. "This is incorrect. Hiring a PR agency to publicise a government's work is not a crime. Let the Lt Governor order a probe into the matter."
