"The AAP fought the election on the anti-corruption plank and now they have taken support from a party that has been completely rejected by the people of Delhi. This proves that AAP is hungry for power ... This is a 'betrayal' of the wishes of the people of Delhi." Harsh Vardhan said.
In the recently concluded Delhi assembly polls, the BJP emerged as the single-largest party with 31 seats with ally Shiromani Akali Dal getting one seat, short of the the halfway mark in the 70-member house.
The Congress which got 8 seats offered support to AAP to form a government.
The BJP decided not to stake claim to form the government leaving the field open for Arvind Kejriwal-lead AAP to "respect the mandate of the voters in Delhi".
AAP told the lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung that it needed 10 days to decide on whether it would form the government. AAP then held a "referendum" to ask people whether it should form a minority government with Congress support.
Harsh Vardhan criticized AAP for seeking the opinion of the people whether to form a government or not. He said that the opinion of a "few hundred" cannot supersede the mandate of millions of people.
"Around 70 per cent of the people of Delhi had given their mandate and chosen their representative and now you go out on streets and ask some hundreds of people to give a mandate that is an insult to the real dimension of democracy," the BJP leader said.
Noo unconditional support to AAP: Cong
Meanwhile, outgoing Congress chief minister Sheila Dikshit, whose 15-year-old reign ended in the assembly polls with a complete rout made it clear on Monday that her party's support to AAP in the hung assembly was "not unconditional".
She welcomed AAP's decision to form the government and hoped the new party will be able to fulfil the promises made to people.
Speaking to reporters, Dikshit said, "We had said that we will give them outside support. The support is not unconditional. I congratulate them for deciding to form government and hope that they will be able to fulfil the promises they made to people of Delhi."
Dikshit said Congress will continue its support to AAP as long it delivers but expressed doubts whether the party will be able to fulfil all its promises like cutting power tariff by 50 per cent and providing 700 litres of free water daily to each household.
"We will support them as long they deliver. We already knew that it is not possible to fulfil the kind of promises they made," Dikshit said.
"We are extending outside support. It is not unconditional. We are supporting them only for the policies they are talking about. If they can provide relief to the people of Delhi, it is well and good," she added.
