Is Maken joining BJP, asks AAP
New Delhi, May 8: The Aam Aadmi Party on Tuesday asked Congress Delhi chief Ajay Maken if he was joining the BJP, as his objections to various government projects hinted at it.
"Maken is creating obstacles again and again for the Delhi government's projects. I wonder if he is following the orders of the Bharatiya Janata Party," AAP Delhi Convenor Gopal Rai told the media here.
"Is Maken joining BJP?" he asked.
Dismissing allegations of the Congress that there was a scam in the CCTV installation project, Rai said: "The government is following the procedure and the cost of project has increased as the initial amount was only an estimate."
The Congress' Delhi unit on Monday termed the Delhi government's CCTV project a "big scam".
The Congress was repeatedly trying to stop the public interest projects of the AAP government, he said.
Rai also said that Maken did the same thing with the Mohalla Clinics and it was due to the latter's application that the work got delayed by eight months.
AAP leader Atishi Marlena said the Congress in its 15-year rule had not done anything for the safety of women.
"Maken claims he is concerned about women's security, but what did his party do in its 15-year rule," said Marlena.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
