Delhi Kiski: Manoj Tiwari hits out at Aam Aadmi Party, says 'people will not tolerate AAP-da anymore'
Speaking at the 'Delhi Kiski Conclave,' BJP leader Manoj Tiwari lashed out at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), questioning its inability to fulfil its promises to the people of Delhi. Tiwari pointed out the government's failure to address key issues, including basic infrastructure and public health.
Delhi Kiski Conclave: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Manoj Tiwari attended India TV's 'Delhi Kiski Conclave' on Friday, where he shared his views on the upcoming Assembly elections in the national capital. Taking a dig at the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), he said that the people of Delhi will no longer tolerate "AAP-da" now. Hitting out at AAP, Tiwari highlighted various issues faced by the city, saying, "We have coined the slogan 'Aap-da Nahi Sahenge, Hum Badal Ke Rahenge.' The water from drains is flooding Delhi's slum areas, and no one has made an effort to fix it. Pensions for the elderly have been stopped, and children are waiting for tankers instead of going to school. People are facing fake medicines."
Tiwari also pointed out that thousands of deaths in Delhi hospitals were due to contaminated water and emphasised the dire need for change. Tiwari also criticised the AAP for failing to live up to its promises, particularly with regard to the people of Eastern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar (Purvanchal), who were initially drawn to the party. He accused Arvind Kejriwal of betraying Purvanchal residents, claiming that during the pandemic, the party allowed mass gatherings in violation of safety protocols, leading to the spread of COVID-19.
Further, Tiwari slammed Kejriwal for labelling Purvanchal residents as "fake voters" despite their strong work ethic and contributions to the city's growth. He added that those living in rented accommodations don't benefit from the so-called "free" electricity schemes, which further highlights the AAP's failures. In response to a question about whether the people of Delhi are ready to welcome the BJP this time, Tiwari expressed confidence that the public has already made up its mind to bring the party back to power.
