New Delhi: Leader of Opposition and Congress Member Parliament on Wednesday lashed out at Arvind Kerijriwal and Prime Minister Narender Modi accused the duo of making false promises.
Rahul addressing a gathering in Bawana ahead of Delhi elections challenged Kejriwal to drink water from the Yamuna River. He also pointed to the developmental activities that took place under Sheila Dikshit’s 15-year rule.
“Kejriwal and Modi both make false promises. Kejriwal had promised Delhi that he would clean the Yamuna river and drink its water. Five years ago, he had promised that he would drink the water of the Yamuna River. I challenged him to go and drink the water of the Yamuna River. This is the difference between Congress, Arvind Kejriwal and Modi,” he said.
“Let’s talk about employment, development and progress. You will remember that during Sheila Dikshit’s regime, roads were built in Delhi. Development took place,” he further added.
The Congress MP further said that Kejriwal had claimed that he would bring ‘clean politics’, however, on the contrary, he carried out the “biggest liquor scam” in the national capital.
“Earlier, Kejriwal used to roam around in the city in a small car and said that he would bring clean politics. After that, the biggest scam in Delhi — the liquor scam of crores of rupees — was done by his party and his people. He has run a corporate government,” he continued.
Rahul Gandhi also said that while the people of Delhi were forced to drink dirty water, Kejriwal lived in a ‘Sheesh Mahal.’
“You have to drink dirty water but Kejriwal lives in a ‘sheesh mahal.’ He lives in a house worth crores of rupees. He gives you false statements,” the Lok Sabha LoP added.
