‘Abusive’ Modi failed to talk development: AAP
Hindustan Times Amritsar|January 06, 2025
Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) national convener and former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal hit back at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "aapdakal" jab at the Delhi government and said the Centre had failed in fulfilling its promises to the people of Delhi made before the 2020 elections.

NEW DELHI:

Speaking at 4 pm at the party headquarters, hours after the Prime Minister's rally in the Capital, Kejriwal accused Modi of devoting the majority of his speech to "hurl abuses" at the AAP.

"Next time, he should answer the people of Delhi on unfulfilled promises made by him in the run-up to 2020 elections, including a repeal of sections 81 and 33 of the Delhi Land Reform Act, granting land ownership rights, implementing the long-pending Delhi Land Pooling Policy and notifying Delhi Master Plan 2041," he said, referencing Delhi a "half-state" and that "BJP must answer why it has failed to deliver" on its works.

He said that the two projects inaugurated by Modi on the day were joint ventures between the central and the state governments, adding that "inaugurations are a reply to those who say AAP only engages in fights."

The BJP hit back at Kejriwal, alleging it was the BJP at the Centre that undertook development works for Delhi and Kejriwal only "deceived" the public.
