BJP in Delhi is a rattled ship without a captain: Arvind Kejriwal

Aam Aadmi Party said the saffron party was rattled ahead of the Delhi Assembly polls

New Delhi: After the BJP’s first rally in the national capital, the Aam Aadmi Party said the saffron party was rattled ahead of the Delhi Assembly polls.

AAP convener Arvind Kejirwal said the party was resorting to personal attacks since it had no “positive agenda” and that the saffron party in Delhi was a “ship without a captain”.

The AAP leader said he would refrain from responding to personal remarks made by the BJP.

Highlighting the achievements of his tenure, the former Delhi CM said all BJP leaders attacked him at the rally but not his work during his 49-day government.

The BJP itself has given a certificate about his “good work”. “They say we don’t know governance. Then who slashed electricity tariffs and gave free water to people? Who ordered an audit of electricity companies? Do people involved in the 2G and coal scams know governance,” he said. “We know governance and we also know how to stage a dharna,” Mr Kejriwal said at a press conference.

The AAP leader said the way he was ridiculed at the Ram Lila Maidan, where the country’s largest protest took place against corruption under the Anna movement, was “not right”.

Taking a jibe at the PM Narendra Modi over his assurances of 24-hour free electricity, Mr Kejriwal said the BJP was unable to fulfil the promises it made during the last Assembly and Lok Sabha elections but was again making new promises before delivering anything on the old ones.

Slamming the BJP for not fulfilling the promises it made during the last Assembly and Lok Sabha polls, Mr Kejriwal said it was up to the people to decide on whom to choose.

“The Prime Minister says he has a bulb which can help save '300 per year, which comes down to '25 every month. We reduced the electricity tariff by half. It is up to the people to decide.”
