Amit Shah accuses Arvind Kejriwal, Rahul Gandhi of speaking language similar to Imran Khan

Accusing
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of speaking Pakistan Prime Minister Imran
Khan’s language, Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday claimed the ruling AAP was
behind engineering riots in the city over the amended citizenship law and the
national capital will be unsafe if they are voted back to power.

He also hit
out at Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who told a TV channel that he
stood with Shaheen Bagh protesters, and said the AAP has worked to disrupt
peace in the city.

Shah also
hit out at the Congress and said they have opposed every decision abrogation of
Article 370, banning triple talaq, building Ram Temple the Modi government has
taken so far.

He also
accused the two of initiating the youth and minorities in the national capital,
which saw a wave of violent protests last month over the Citizenship
(Amendment) Act.

Attacking the AAP, Shah said, “Delhi will not be safe if these people come to power. Those who want to engineer riots have no right to remain in power.” He later addressed a roadshow in Uttam Nagar in west Delhi and a rally in Nangloi Jat in northwest Delhi.

The BJP in
the past has targeted the AAP for not giving sanction to prosecute former JNU
students union leader Kanhaiya Kumar in a sedition case.

Shah took on
the Delhi government and Kejriwal over issues ranging from “unclean”
drinking water to not fulfilling promises of giving free WiFi and stalling the
Ayushman Bharat scheme.

Shah also
listed out the work done by the Modi government for Delhi, like regularising
1,731 unauthorised colonies. He said if the BJP is voted to power, the party
will implement 112 central government schemes that will benefit people.

The home
minister said for four and a half years the chief minister kept saying ‘Prime
Minister Narendra Modi did not let him work so development could not be done in
Delhi’.

On providing
clean drinking water, Shah said Kejriwal announced a similar scheme three days
after Prime Minister Modi announced it from the ramparts of the Red Fort on
Independence Day last year.

Shah alleged
the national capital currently gets “unclean” water. But if the BJP
is voted to power, Delhi will get water as clean as bottled one.

Taking a dig
at Kejriwal, Shah said after the AAP’s victory in 2015, the party lost polls in
Punjab, Haryana, local body polls. “Delhi has defeated you every
time,” Shah said.
