New Delhi: Arvind Kejriwal, Aam Aadmi Party chief, while responding to accusations of receiving donations by alleged bogus companies, said he dares the Finance Minister to arrest him if he has done any wrong.
Kejriwal was addressing a rally in Trilokpuri Tuesday.
He said, “All the police, CBI, IB, income tax departments are with the government. Why don't you arrest me if I have done any wrong?”
Declaring himself vindicated he said, “Even my strongest critics believe I am honest.”
“I dare the Finance Minister to arrest me, stop this mudslinging”, he added.
Taking a jibe at BJP leaders who called him names Kejriwal said these people are obsessed with him and have no agenda other than abusing him. He said, “BJP leaders have been abusing me. Nupur Sharma called me a Monkey, Kiran Bedi says Kejriwal is toxic, Nirmala Sitharaman says he's a thief. PM said Kejriwal is a Naxal. Am I one?”
“On Jan 10, PM addressed a crowd at Ramlila Maidan. He did not say anything about the people of Delhi. For more than half his speech he was abusing me.
He said Kejriwal goes on dharnas. I don't go on dharnas for myself, I stage dharnas for people” he clarified.
Kejriwal once again attacked BJP Delhi chief Satish Upadhyay for installing faulty electricity meters in Delhi.
He criticized BJP-led government for price hike and hike in bribe cases too.
Arvind Kejriwal once again affirmed that he would not quit this time.
“People in Delhi say that we brought "Ram Rajya" to Delhi in those 49 days.
In five years, we're going to make government schools so good that Ministers will send their children there.”
Before signing off he also warned voters against faulty EVMs. He said, “If you press the button against Jhaadu, and the light against Kamal glows, complain immediately. If the EVMs don't work properly, there will be re-polling in that booth.”
