New Delhi: After Prime Minister Narender Modi lashed out at AAP in national capital Delhi while seeking support for Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in upcoming assembly elections after inaugurating several developmental projects in Delhi, Kejriwal hit back over land reforms.
Earlier PM Modi today appealed to the voters of the national capital to give Bharatiya Janata Party a chance in the upcoming 2025 Delhi assembly elections. He took a dig at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, saying that the government has been no less than a “tragedy (AAP-DA).”
He while addressing a gathering in the national capital said “We need to develop Delhi into the capital of Viksit Bharat. I want to appeal to the people of Delhi to give an opportunity to the BJP for the bright future of Delhi, it is the BJP which can develop Delhi. In the last 10 years, the government that Delhi has seen is no less than ‘AAP-DA’. Now, we can only hear ‘AAP-DA nahi sahenge, badal ke rahenge’ in Delhi. Delhi wants development and the people of Delhi have trust in BJP.”
PM Modi further said that he had come to address the gathering after inaugurating development works for Delhi worth thousands of crores of rupees. He added that the coming 25 years will remain crucial for the future of the entire country and Delhi’s contribution was necessary in the ‘Viksit Bharat’ mission.
“I have just come here after laying the foundation stone and inaugurating development projects for Delhi worth thousands of crores of rupees. We are in the year 2025. The coming 25 years will be crucial for the future of Delhi and the entire country. These 25 years will witness India become a Viksit Bharat. We will be a part of it. These years will witness India transform into a new age of modernisation. The time, when India becomes the world’s third economic power, is coming soon and Delhi’s contribution is necessary for it,” he added.
The Prime Minister also inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of multiple development projects worth over Rs 12,200 crore in Delhi. He also undertook a ride in the Namo Bharat Train from Sahibabad RRTS Station to New Ashok Nagar RRTS Station.
Hitting back at the criticism, Kejriwal came out heavily against Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his ‘AAP-DA’ jibe at the Delhi government and accused the BJP of not fulfilling the promises made to the people of ‘Delhi Dehat’, adding that this time they will take ‘revenge’ from BJP.
Kejriwal accused the Centre of not abrogating Section 81 and Section 33 of the Delhi Land Reforms Act and not implementing the long-awaited land-pooling policy.
Addressing a press conference on Sunday, Kejriwal said, “Today, the PM spoke for 30 minutes and he kept abusing the people of Delhi and the elected government of Delhi – I was listening to it, it felt bad…The promise made by the Prime Minister for Delhi in 2020 – the people of Delhi Dehat are still waiting for that to be fulfilled.”
Kejriwal also mentioned the inauguration of the New Ashok Nagar RRTS station by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the presence of Delhi CM Atishi as part of the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS). He added that AAP didn’t resort to ‘vendetta politics’ despite their top leadership being sent to jail.
Another Congress candidate, Alka Lamba, slammed former Aam Aadmi Party national convener Arvind Kejriwal, over the alleged use of Rs 33 crores of taxpayers’ money for the renovation of the Chief Minister’s official residence during the pandemic.
