“They call anyone a terrorist. A few days ago, they said that every farmer of the country is a terrorist. Now they are saying that cyclists are terrorists. They have no work to count, to seek votes. That’s why these people call me a terrorist,” the Delhi Chief Minister said at the public meeting in Lucknow.
“Like Gabbar Singh had said that if you don’t sleep, Gabbar will come, now it is said that if you do corruption, Kejriwal will come,” he added.
Meanwhile, Kejriwal once again targeted former party colleague Kumar Vishwas, saying “the poet” can replace central agencies as they have been unable to find anything on him.
“Tell me, does any terrorist open schools? In the last seven years, Modi had CBI, ED, Income Tax, and RAW raid my house and office. I asked if they found anything, they said they could not,” the Chief Minister stated.
Without naming Kumar Vishwas directly, he added: “Then, they said that a poet from Ghaziabad revealed Kejriwal is a terrorist. He saw a dream wherein seven years ago, I told him I will divide this country into two and become the Prime Minister of one part... If central agencies were unable to find this then the government relying on this poet, can shut down CBI, ED, and RAW as the poet can reveal what all he saw in his dreams”.
According to Kejriwal, “If BJP and Congress had worked in 70 years, they would have asked for votes in the name of work. Now they have to ask for votes by calling Kejriwal a terrorist”.
Kejriwal reached Lucknow for the election campaign for the candidates of the Aam Aadmi Party and he targeted Prime minister Narendra Modi over the issue of national security.
He launched an attack on PM Modi saying, “Yesterday PM said whoever rides bicycle are terrorists. This is an insult to bicycle riders. When you vote, tell them it's BJP (people) who are terrorists, not the ones who ride bicycles”.
The Delhi Chief Minister emphasised that his government is providing free electricity in the national capital, there is a 24 hour power supply. “It will be implemented in UP and people will get electricity for free and for 24 hours. AAP has improved schools and hospitals in Delhi. Therefore, after the formation of the government in UP, reforms will be done here too,” Arvind Kejriwal said.
Notably, he also indicated that AAP is open to forming a post-poll alliance if needed: “If no one gets majority in the election, we will give support to anyone in UP to keep BJP out.”
“We have given jobs to 10 lakh children in Delhi. Every person in Delhi is happy with us. Give us a chance, all the parties will be cleared from UP. In Delhi, we have created 20000 new schools in 7 years. We have built three universities in Delhi,” Arvind Kejriwal said pitching for AAP.
Voting will be held in Lucknow on Wednesday, hence, the election campaigning for the same ended at 6 pm today.
