With the Delhi assembly elections just days away, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, launched a sharp attack on Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor, accusing Arvind Kejriwal of arriving in a "Wagon R" and heading straight to the parking lot of the "Sheesh Mahal," and further alleged that Kejriwal had "damaged" the infrastructure developed by former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit.
"He (Arvind Kejriwal) came in a wagon R and went straightway to the parking lot of 'Sheesh Mahal'. A House of Crores of rupees. Corruption. Pollution," the Congress MP said on Friday. He added, "The infrastructure that Sheila ji (former Delhi Chief Minister) had built- roads, bridges, flyovers, development work that was done, he has destroyed all of that..." "There are 9 people in Kejriwal's team. There is no Dalit, Adivasi, backward class or minority in this leadership team. This is also a party of 2-3 per cent," he said, showing a picture of "Team Kejriwal" including Manish Sisodia and Raghav Chadha He continued his sharp criticism of Kejriwal over the alleged issue of toxicity in the Yamuna river. "Five years ago, Kejriwal had said that he would drink Yamuna water, and take a dip in Yamuna. He is roaming around with a water bottle and saying that the Haryana government or someone else has made it dirty. Kejriwal, the responsibility is yours...," the Congress MP said. He stated, "Our fight is based on ideology, our fight is not opportunistic..." On Monday, Arvind Kejriwal levelled serious allegations against the Bharatiya Janata Party, stating that the BJP-ruled Haryana government has "poisoned" the Yamuna water supplied to Delhi so that "people die" and the blame comes on the AAP. The Delhi Assembly elections are scheduled to take place on February 5, while counting of votes will be held on February 8. (ANI)
