Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis launched a scathing attack on AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal during an election campaign in the Rohini assembly constituency. Fadnavis claimed if Kejriwal was managing the national capital, residents would struggle to breathe. He thanked Prime Minister Modi for the current situation and highlighted the importance of cooperation between central and state governments for change.
Fadnavis further accused Kejriwal's government of fearing Prime Minister Modi's developmental capabilities, urging voters to bring the BJP back to power in Delhi to transform the city's future. He specifically criticized the AAP for spending more time cursing than enabling progress.
Earlier, Prime Minister Modi condemned Kejriwal for his 'poisonous water' comments, calling them a disgraceful slander borne out of electoral fear. Modi emphasized that such statements insult Haryana and the nation, predicting that Delhi voters would teach Kejriwal's party a lesson in the upcoming elections.
The Delhi Assembly elections, set for February 5, will see 699 candidates compete for 70 seats, with results on February 8. The BJP aspires to end its 27-year hiatus from power in the capital, contrasting with the Congress's previous dominance and AAP's recent electoral success, having won the majority in 2015 and 2020 polls.
