A day after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal walked out of Tihar Jail, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) launched a scathing attack at the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing the PM of crushing his and other Opposition parties and being on a mission of bringing about dictatorship in the country.
Besides the ‘one nation, one leader’ jibe, the Delhi CM also accused the BJP of shielding corrupt leaders and asked them if they would live upto the rule of retirement at 75 that was brought about by PM Modi.
Here are the top quotes from Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s press briefing:
📌 “The BJP sent four of our top leaders to jail — Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh and Satyendar Jain. This was an attempt by them to crush us. PM Modi wants to crush AAP because he knows that we can bring about a bright future for the country. Modi ji has a very dangerous plan — the plan of One Nation One Leader.”
📌 “The BJP sent me to jail and the Prime Minister says that he is fighting against corruption. They have welcomed all the corrupt people in their party. If you want to fight corruption, learn from us. When we formed the government in 2015, someone sent me an audio of a minister of mine asking a shopkeeper for Rs 5 lakh. No one knew about it and I handed him over to the CBI.”
📌 “The BJP keeps asking the INDIA bloc regarding who would be the PM face. I ask them, who is going to be your PM after next year? PM Modi is turning 75 next September. He is the one who made the rule that those who turn 75 must retire. Who will fulfil Modi‘s guarantee? Will Amit Shah do it?
📌 “I have spoken with experts, psephologists and it is my assessment that the BJP is not getting more than 220-230 seats. The INDIA bloc will form the next government and AAP will be a part of it. We will give full statehood to Delhi and it shall have a people’s governor, not a man from Gujarat.”
📌 “I don’t have any love for posts… when I became the CM for the first time, I resigned within 49 days. However, everyone keeps asking as to why I never resign when I was arrested? AAP has won in Delhi with unprecedented margins. They know they cannot defeat us even for the next 20 years. They conspired so that I would resign and the AAP govt will fall. I said that I won’t resign and will run the govt from jail… even Hemant Soren shouldn’t have resigned.”
📌 “If they win the Lok Sabha polls, they will change the chief minister of UP in 2 months… They have tried to crush all the popular leaders in their party. Look at Vasundhara Raje and Shivraj Singh Chauhan. I am sure that Yogi Adityanath is next.”
