Union Home Minister Amit Shah attacked former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal harshly on Sunday, accusing him of breaking commitments during the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) tenure in the national capital.
Shah spoke at a BJP rally in Narela as part of the party’s campaign for the February 5 Delhi assembly elections.
โElections would be held on February 5. The people of Narela will cast their vote. Counting will take place on February 8. And, on February 8, Delhi will be free from Aaapda. The misgovernance of Kejriwal will come to an end on February 8,โ he said.
The home minister claimed that Delhi has gotten worse under Kejriwal’s leadership, with the national capital grappling with waterlogging and a poor water supply.
โIn ten years, many states of the country where double-engine governments were formed, reached great heights but Delhi is struggling with waterlogging, dirty water and garbage,” he said.
He claimed that if the BJP wins the mandate in the elections next month, it will make Delhi the most populous capital in the world and rid the city of Rohingyas and illegal immigrants from Bangladesh.
“I promise you that you make the BJP win, and within two years we will free Delhi from illegal Bangladeshi immigrants and Rohingyas,” he claimed.
Shah attacked the AAP for a variety of corruption charges the party is dealing with, such as the Delhi Jal Board, the liquor policy scam, the distribution of rations, the purchase of DTC buses, and the building of classrooms in schools.
“The (former) education minister (Manish Sisodia) opened liquor shops near schools, temples and gurdwaras to spoil the younger generation, besides indulging in corruption worth crores of rupees. But at the end, both ‘Bade Miya’ (Kejriwal) and ‘Chote Miya’ (Sisodia) were put in jail,” Shah said.
