BJP general secretary Vijay Goel, who had welcomed Kejriwal to the stage at a party protest programme on Monday, did not mince words to express his anger against the social activist's behaviour.

Kejriwal had spoken against BJP from the dais and asked what the Opposition had done to check the "wrongdoings" of the Sheila Dikshit government in Delhi.

"BJP has always opposed the hike in power bills. We have held demonstrations in all parts of Delhi. We held a protest in which 2,000 RWAs participated.... Who is Kejriwal to ask us what we have done in the last three years? He has entered the protests just three days back and restored two power connections and he thinks he is leading the movement," Goel fumed.

The BJP leader alleged that Kejriwal is a "Congress agent" and his criticism of the opposition party is aimed at weakening the agitation against the "unjustified" hike in power bills of the people.

When it was pointed out that Kejriwal had "exposed" how Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra's business relations with realty major DLF and hence could not be acting at the behest of Congress, Goel only repeated his charges.

"Yes, he is attacking political parties and individuals as he is starting a political party," Goel said in reply to a question.

He demanded a public apology from Kejriwal for attacking BJP at Monday's public meeting.
