With a week left for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) elections, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said people should not be swayed by the Modi wave. In an exclusive interview with CNN-News 18's Anubha Bhonsle, Kejriwal also said Aam Aadmi Party would have won the Punjab Assembly elections if the electronic voting machines (EVMs) weren't tampered with.
Edited excerpts:Anubha Bhonsle (AB): Why all these interviews now? You haven't spoken in a while.Arvind Kejriwal (Kejriwal): Nothing like that, when there is something to say, I speak. Ahead of the MCD elections we would like to talk about our objectives on how to develop Delhi further.This isn't an ordinary MCD election, there seems to be a cumulative momentum towards one political party, the BJP. In spite of your good work in the last 2 years, you may not be able to make a showing.Kejriwal: There are two things that people of Delhi need to understand. First, high anti-incumbency wave against BJP which has been in power in MCD for the last 10 years. The rise in dengue, chikungunya, garbage strewn all over, all of this bad maintenance is because of MCD. BJP-ruled MCD has done nothing. Hence, I would say that if you are voting for BJP, then you are voting for a pile of garbage. It's imperative that we bring about a change.
AB: What do you have to say on the Arun Jailtey defamation case?Kejriwal: DDCA is a highly corrupt body, all the points I came up with after the interview only goes on to affirm how corrupted DDCA is, some big names were also involved. I exercised my right as a CM and also in a bid to clean the corruption-ridden system.
