New Delhi: AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal on Friday hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and accused him of failing to deliver on the promises made to people of Delhi a decade back.
Kejriwal claimed his government’s record in education, healthcare, and infrastructure far outpaced the BJP’s contributions. “In 10 years, the BJP has not done a single significant thing for Delhi. They promised permanent housing by 2022 but have built only 4,700 houses in five years. Compare that with AAP’s work – 22,000 classrooms, three new universities, and countless developmental initiatives,” Kejriwal said.
Showing the 2020 manifesto of the BJP, Kejriwal said that the Prime Minister had promised to give pucca houses to everyone in Delhi. “Today he has given keys to 1,700 houses and before this keys of 3,000 houses were given. In Delhi, there are 4 lakh jhuggis and 15 lakh people need pucca houses. Is this a 200-year plan that he (PM) has to provide housing?” asked Kejriwal.
He countered the Prime Minister by accusing the BJP of demolishing slums without providing alternatives. “If you had voted for BJP, they would have razed all slums in Delhi,” he alleged. “There is no ‘AAPda’ in Delhi. The real disaster is the BJP.” Kejriwal said that if the BJP had worked for the last 10 years, Prime Minister would not have resorted to abuses.
