"Kejriwal can't tell about single development work done by him in Delhi": Congress' Sukhjinder Randhawa

Speaking to ANI, Randhawa emphasized that the Congress is fully prepared for the Delhi Assembly polls.

"Congress party is fully prepared to contest Delhi assembly elections. There has been no development in Delhi after Sheila Dikshit's tenure. Arvind Kejriwal cannot tell about a single development work done by him in Delhi. The people of Delhi are tired of his lies. It is very shameful that many AAP leaders went to jail. Arvind Kejriwal had said that he would never take any security, government house but now he has Z+ security, good car, house," the Congress leader said.

Further, Sukhjinder Randhawa claimed that Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann is merely trying to "save his chair," pointing to earlier speculations about his removal after the Delhi elections.

"Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann is just saving his chair. Earlier also, when Arvind Kejriwal walked out (of jail), they said that he (Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann) would be removed as the Chief Minister. Now they are saying that he will be removed (as the Punjab CM) after the Delhi elections," he added.

"Arvind Kejriwal will lose the elections with a very big margin," Randhawa claimed.

Earlier, Congress leader Ajay Maken on Wednesday accused Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal of committing a health-related scam worth Rs 382 crore.

Of the 14 Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) reports, one report suggests a scam carried out by Kejriwal, which is related to health, he added.

"The Delhi CM made his party on the basis that he will fight corruption... At that time, he made corruption allegations against Congress based on CAG reports. Today, there are 14 CAG reports that make serious corruption allegations against Arvind Kejriwal. One such CAG report suggests a scam by Arvind Kejriwal related to health which is worth Rs 382 crore," Maken said in a press conference.

The Delhi Assembly elections will take place in a single phase on February 5, and the counting of votes is set for February 8. A total of 699 candidates are competing for the 70 assembly seats in Delhi.

The AAP dominated the 2015 and 2020 assembly elections by winning 67 and 62 seats, respectively, out of a total of 70 seats, while the BJP got only three and eight seats in these elections. (ANI)
