New Delhi: The leader of opposition and senior congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday in a no-holds-bar attack at Aam Aadmi Party national convener Arvind Kejriwal pointed to the previous promise of the former Delhi Chief Minister to clean Yamuna River, challenging him to take a dip in the river.
Taking a jibe at Kejriwal, Rahul asked him to take a sip of Yamuna River and said he would meet him in hospital later.
Addressing a gathering ahead of Delhi assembly polls Rahul said, “Arvind Kejriwal said that he will bring a new political system, will finish corruption. He also promised that he would clean the Yamuna water within 5 years, and would take a dip in it but it is still dirty. I would ask him to drink it, we will meet in the hospital after that.”
Criticising the “core team” of 9 people of AAP, including Manish Sisodia, Atishi, Sanjay Singh, Raghav Chaddha, Satyendra Jain and others, he likened them to being similar to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
While holding a pamphlet of AAP with the faces of its leaders, he added, “These 9 people are Kejriwal’s core team, I am reading the names, Kejriwal, his partner Sisodia, Atishi, Sanjay Singh, Raghav Chaddha, Sandeep Pathak, Satendra Jain, Avad Ojha, how many of these people are in the 90%? Mo one from the Dalit OBC, or Muslim community is there…they make their team and when there is a riot anywhere, they disappear.”
“There is no difference between Kejriwal and Modi, Modi speaks openly, Kejriwal remains silent, does not come when needed,” he added.
Saying that the election fight is actually in reality between just two ideologies, one of “unity” and one of “hatred.”
