WITH HIS FOCUS firmly on the upcoming Assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said all ongoing welfare schemes such as free electricity, free travel for women in public buses, and healthcare schemes, among others, will continue if the BJP forms the government in Delhi.
Addressing a Parivartan Rally at the Japanese Park in Rohini, Modi attacked AAP, continuing to call it the "AAPda (disaster) government" and said, "Ye log apni haar samne dekh kar bhaukla gaye hain (These people are flustered as they see their defeat in front of them). That is why they are lying that all the ongoing welfare schemes will be stopped if the BJP comes to power... But I promise and assure you all that the schemes will continue in Delhi. Par baimanhon ka jo theka hai usse hataya jayega (But we will remove dishonest people)... We will remove these AAPda people, bring honest leaders, and take forward all the welfare schemes."
The PM said that the people of Delhi have realised that the state government over the last 10 years has been nothing less than "AAP-da" (disaster).
"Isiliye sirf ek hi awaz goonj rahi hai, AAPda nahi sahenge, badlav hum layenge (that is why now only one voice is echoing in Delhi, 'we will not tolerate AAP-da, we will bring change)," said the PM while attacking the AAP on alleged corruption.
