Siddharthnagar (Uttar Pradesh) [India], February 8 : Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Jagdambika Pal on Saturday hit out at Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in a veiled attack, saying that his party's victory in the Delhi assembly elections serves as a lesson for those who make false promises to people and fail to fulfill them.
He said that people have taught AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal a lesson over the unresolved issues related, including the cleanliness of Yamuna.
"Delhi's victory is a lesson for those parties who make false promises to the people and do not fulfill them. People gave him (Kejriwal) three chances, but taught him a lesson since Yamuna has gotten so dirty that people can't even perform Chhath Puja...Delhi became the world's most polluted city. This is a wise decision for the people of Delhi. I want to congratulate everyone," Pal told ANI.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday lashed out at Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, labelling him as an "icon of corruption".
He said that the people of Delhi have exposed Kejriwal for indulging in "politics of lies" while showing faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership.
"I want to congratulate the people of Delhi for making BJP win in Delhi after 27 years. This is the faith they have shown in PM Narendra Modi's leadership and his work. People of Delhi have also exposed AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal for indulging the politics of lies...He became the icon of corruption," Fadnavis told reporters.
The Maharashtra CM assured that faith shown by people in the national capital will not go to waste.
