Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal took a jibe on both the Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Addressing a public rally in Delhi's Rohini, Kejriwal said that in the upcoming 2019 Lok Sabha polls, BJP and RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) are indirectly supporting the Congress to defeat Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). He further said that only AAP is the alternative for Delhi. He even appealed to people to not vote for the Congress.
Referring to the last Lok Sabha elections, when the BJP had won all the seven seats in Delhi, Kejriwal asked gathering not to repeat the “mistake of 2014” and instead, “strengthen your own party (AAP)”.
“The BJP and the RSS are implicitly supporting the Congress to cut into the AAP votes in order to win the Lok Sabha polls. Don’t fall for RSS murmur campaign in support of Congress,” he said.
“People are fed up of the BJP but at the same time do not want to vote for Rahul Gandhi and the corrupt Congress party. The AAP is the only alternative in Delhi,” a statement quoted Kejriwal as saying at the public rally.
He alleged that all the seven MPs never turned up for help after winning the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. “They tried to scuttle mohalla clinics, CCTV project, new schools, new colleges and everything we did for the people of Delhi,” he alleged.
“We are duty-bound to provide clean and green parks to our elders, kids,” he said, while interacting with representatives of RWAs in east Delhi’s Pandav Nagar.
During interaction, the chief minister also expressed concern over the situation of sanitation in east Delhi and alleged the BJP-led municipal corporations are not concerned about their basic duties.
