Congress on sunday said the Delhi's AAP government should know its "limit" in the wake of charges levelled against Industries Minister Satyendra Jain that he exerted pressure on acting Delhi Chief Secretary over conversion of industrial plots from leasehold to freehold.
"We are supporting the concept of conversion of leasehold into freehold. What we are saying is Delhi government should know its limits and boundaries. Delhi government should try and do things which are directly under them. But, we are supportive of conversion of leasehold into freehold," Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee President Ajay Maken told reporters in New Delhi.
He was responding to a question on Gamlin's allegation that Delhi Industry Minister Satyendra Jain was putting pressure on her over conversion of industrial plots from leasehold to freehold.
Mr Maken also slammed the AAP government over reports of buying snooping devices and demanded that appointment of people handling such high-end equipments should be brought under public scrutiny.
"People, who are handling with these high-end equipments, they should follow rules, they should follow the procedure and appointment of such people also should be under public scrutiny," Mr Maken said.
Charging that the AAP follows different rules for different people, Mr Maken said that Congress was against snooping.
"The AAP, what we have seen is, they set up different rules for different people. When it comes to them they set up different rules, when it is for others they set up different rules. Snooping is bad, snooping of private individuals is bad. Be it AAP or BJP, we are against such kind of snooping," he said.
