New Delhi :Delhi minister and AAP candidate from Greater Kailash assembly seat, Saurabh Bhardwaj, on Tuesday countered BJP's criticism on illegal immigration, and said that the party should take responsibility instead.
He shifted the blame to the BJP-led central government and the governments of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, questioning their role in allowing Bangladeshi immigrants to enter India.
"If we are to be blamed for whoever (Bangladeshi illegal immigrants) have come to Delhi, they all must have come in the last 10 years as we are in power from the last 10 years only. It's the BJP govt at the centre, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh to be blamed, why did they allow them to enter?" he said.
