NEW DELHI: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday took aim at AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal, alleging that he has never encountered anyone in his political career who lies so blatantly.
Addressing a press conference, Shah asserted that the BJP's manifesto represents trust and a commitment to achieving outlined goals.
"Since 2014, Narendra Modi ji has established the politics of performance in this country, and in every election since then, the BJP has strived to fulfil its promises. We have sought suggestions from various people for this. Kejriwal runs a government in Delhi that makes promises, doesn't fulfil them, and then presents false faces to the public. In my political life, I have never seen anyone who lies so clearly," he said.
He slammed Kejriwal for breaking his promise of not taking a government bungalow, highlighting that over Rs 51 crore were spent to build a 50,000-square-foot 'Sheesh Mahal.'
"He has opened liquor shops near schools, Temples, and Gurudwaras and committed scams worth thousands of crores. The liquor scam was committed by Delhi's former education minister. He (Kejriwal) had promised to clean the Yamuna River in seven years, making it as clean as London's Thames River, and said he would take a dip in front of the people of Delhi. Kejriwal ji, the public is waiting for that famous dip of yours," Shah said.
"He couldn't even fulfil his promise of providing clean water through pipes. He talked about a corruption-free government, but Kejriwal himself, along with many of his ministers, went to jail over corruption cases. He only got bail, and using bail as a clean chit does not absolve him from the accusations," he added. He further criticised Kejriwal for failing to fulfil his promise of appointing a Dalit Deputy Chief Minister. (ANI)
