Delhi Lok Sabha Election 2024: Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Sunday took potshots at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the arrests of several Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders in the recent past, stating “humne Pradhan mantri banaya tha, Thanedaar thodi lekar aaye the (We had chosen a Prime Minister, not a policeman)”.
Addressing a poll rally on Sunday in support of AAP’s South Delhi Lok Sabha seat candidate Sahiram Pahalwan, Kejriwal claimed that him and all leaders of his party are being hounded and urged people to vote for AAP to prevent him from going back to jail.
“They are after us. All the party leaders were put in jail. Yesterday, my PA was put in jail. And now they are saying that Atishi and Saurabh Bhardwaj will also be put in jail. Is this how the country runs? Humne Pradhan Mantri banaya tha, Thanedaar thodi lekar aaye the (We had picked him as Prime Minister, not a police officer),” the AAP supremo said in a swipe at Modi,
‘I ask votes based on work, Modi doesn’t’
Kejriwal asserted that while he asks for votes based on his work, PM Modi, on the other hand is bringing up things like ‘mangalsutra’ and ‘nakli santaan’ to confuse voters.
“I ask for votes based on my work. After being in power for ten years, all you (PM Modi) are saying is ‘bhatakti aatma’, ‘nakli santaan’, and ‘mangal sutra’. What is all this?” the AAP national convenor asked.
Modi govt won’t return on June 4
The Delhi CM expressed confidence that Modi government will not return to power and INDIA bloc will form the next government on June 4.
“They also know this and that is why they are in shock. INDIA bloc government will be formed and Delhi will be given the status of full state. We have improved the electricity, water and health sectors in Delhi. When Delhi gets full statehood, law and order will also be improved. After June 4, Delhi’s LG will work for people. There will be a big change,” Kejriwal asserted.
My medicines stopped for 15 days in Tihar
The AAP leader also alleged that his medicines were stopped for 15 days during his stint in Tihar jail.
“I gave free medicines for the whole of Delhi but when I went to Tihar, they stopped my medicines for 15 days. I have been a diabetic patient for 20 years. I have been taking insulin injections for 10 years. My injections were also stopped in Tihar. I kept pleading in front of them that give me an injection. But as soon as the public and media raised their voice, they started giving me the injection,” he alleged.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has fielded Sahiram Pahalwan from the South Delhi Lok Sabha Constituency against BJP’s Ramvir Singh Bidhuri.
Delhi will go to polls on May 25 — Phase 6 of the seven-phased Lok Sabha Election 2024.
