BJP says AAP renames CMO Delhi X handle to 'KejriwalAtWork', then deletes profile

It was later wiped clean and deleted from the social media platform.

Furious, the BJP demanded Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena's intervention.

BJP Delhi unit boss Virendra Sachdeva ripped into the outgoing AAP over "the plunder of (the) Delhi Government's digital resources by former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal".

"It is unfortunate that after the defeat of the government of Arvind Kejriwal and Atishi, today, on the orders of the caretaker Chief Minister (Atishi), the (account) of 'CMO Delhi' has been made the personal (account) of Arvind Kejriwal. Sir, this is a case of digital loot by the government, and it needs to be investigated," he wrote in a post, tagging both Kejriwal and Atishi's handles.

Slamming Kejriwal further, Sachdeva said:  "During his ten years in power, he committed numerous scams ranging from ration card to 'sheeshmahal' and from auto permit to liquor, but the new digital loot is unprecedented... hardly any outgoing Chief Minister would have done something like this."

He also demanded a report from the government's IT Department to establish who had ordered the change in the name and the deletion of the Delhi Chief Minister's X handle.

Kejriwal has not responded but the AAP has issued a preliminary rebuttal, declaring the BJP should desist from "baseless allegations" and focus on governing the national capital.

Atishi slammed the BJP Thursday, declaring she had received complaints about faltering electricity supply almost immediately after the saffron party came to power.

She claimed that within three days of the AAP being removed more than 40 outages had been reported from across the city.
