New Delhi: On the last day of election campaign in Delhi elections the Union Home Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Amit Shah on Monday lashes out at Arvind Keijriowal on his remarks that poisoned Yamuna water calls it a big sin.
Addressing a gathering at the final day of election campaign, Shah stated that the AAP national convenor used to call himself the “son of Haryana,” had now resorted to playing the blame game after failing to deliver on his promises to the people.
“They have just committed a sin. Kejriwal said that the Haryana government is mixing poison in the water of Yamuna. Kejriwal used to call himself the son of Haryana, but now he has insulted Haryana. They could not purify the water themselves, hence they are blaming Haryana and insulting the people of Haryana,” Shah told the people.
The Home Minister highlighted the allegations on AAP leaders regarding the national capital’s now-scrapped excise policy, upholding it as an example of Kejriwal’s deception.
“He (Arvind Kejriwal) has created a flood of scams. A liquor scam worth thousands of crores was committed and liquor shops were opened near temples, schools and gurudwaras,” Shah said.
Detailing the various other alleged scams, the BJP leader mentioned Rs 28,400 crore water board scam; Rs 4,500 crore DTC bus scam; Rs 1,300 crore classroom scam; CCTV scam of Rs 571 crore and others.
“Kejriwal, who came to fight against corruption, himself became the embodiment of corruption and both Bade Miyan and Chote Miyan went to jail in the liquor scam,” he added.
Highlighting various AAP MLAs leaving the party to join the BJP, Shah mentioned, “The time has come to free Delhi from liquor mafias, scamsters and hardcore dishonest people…He (Kejriwal) did not fulfil any of his promises. That is why today more than 50% of their MLAs have left them…Kejriwal ji aapake yahaan ye bhagadad kyon machee hai?”
The BJP leader also mentioned that Kejriwal has been “deceiving” the public by not repairing the failing infrastructure of the national capital, such as potholes, polluted waters, and scams in mohalla clinics.
