BJP MP Anurag Thakur on Sunday attacked former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over the continuous decline in the city’s air quality over the past several years. Taking a dig at him, Thakur said that Kejriwal had come to Delhi coughing from Haryana 11 years ago and since then has left the city panting.
The former Union Minister also claimed that after the ouster of the “AAP-DA” government from Delhi, the BJP will ensure clean roads, clean water, clean Yamuna and clean air for the people of the city. “Aap-da” means disaster, a derisive term coined by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the party at one of his rallies in the city.
“Eleven years ago, someone from Haryana came to Delhi coughing, wearing a muffler. Now the same person wants Z-plus security from two states,” Thakur said. He said, “Neither the air of Delhi is clean, nor the roads, nor the mountains of garbage nor the Yamuna. This time the AAP government will be wiped out from Delhi too.”
Thakur accused Kejriwal of starting his political career as a warrior of corruption but himself being involved in corruption. Terming Kejriwal as an “anti-women”, he alleged that “a person who can take false oath in the name of his daughter cannot be trusted to work for your welfare.” Voting will take place in Delhi on 5 February and the results will be declared on 8 February.
