New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) chief ministerial candidate Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for calling him a 'Naxal' and asked him not to indulge in "politics of abuses".
Addressing an election rally in Shastri Nagar, Kejriwal said, "Am I a Naxal? It is not right. We should not indulge in the politics of abuses. We should discuss on issues."
He further said, "I had hoped that the PM will announce some big programmes for Delhi. But he only abused me in 70 per cent of his speech."
The AAP leader claimed that there is a strong support for AAP and entire Delhi has decided to form AAP government. "The people had hoped that the government will do something, but now people are saying they have been betrayed. The BJP has not fulfilled any promise. Speeches do not feed people," he said.
He alleged that before elections the BJP had promised to reduce electricity charges by 30 per cent but after coming to power electricity bills have gone up by 15 per cent. "They have increased the price of 107 medicines only to give profit to the Pharma companies," he further said.
Kejriwal said the PM said in his speech that the Centre will withdraw subsidy on gas cylinders and that subsidy will be available to only BPL people. "Those who do not have BPL cards will have to pay Rs 900 for LPG cylinders," he said.
The former Delhi CM said if the BJP did not know how to stop corruption, AAP can teach them. "They do not have intention. Money goes to higher ends, they will not do that," he said.
Kejriwal assured that whatever promises AAP has had made will be fulfilled. "Within two days we had reduced electricity charges. If we can do it in two days, why cannot they (BJP) do it. They have no intention," he said.
