Delhi Kiski: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary attended India TV’s ‘Delhi Kiski Conclave’ on Friday, where he launched a scathing attack on Aam Aadmi Party Chief Arvind Kejriwal. Speaking at the conclave, Choudhary alleged that AAP has failed to deliver on its promises over the past decade and questioned its governance in Delhi.
Choudhary also hit out at the AAP chief for “disrespecting” people of Eastern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar (Purvanchal). He refuted Kejriwal’s statements about the people of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Choudhary pointed out that nearly 1.21 crore people from Bihar are benefitting from the Ayushman Bharat scheme. “If Kejriwal claims that people from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh are only coming to Delhi for medical treatment with a ticket costing Rs. 500, does he mean that people from these states are the only ones who are poor?” he questioned.
The deputy CM further emphasised BJP’s commitment to the welfare of all communities, including Eastern India, and accused the Aam Aadmi Party of creating division through caste and regional politics. “Struggle is in BJP’s DNA. We are a party of workers. BJP is a party that works with principles, and we have always strived to bring along those who have been left behind, be it from Eastern India or any part of the country,” the BJP leader said.
Chaudhary further said that Kejriwal was not even “worthy of comparison” to the BJP’s work. He lambasted the AAP chief for his approach towards national security and welfare issues, specifically regarding the Rohingya, Bangladeshis, and Pakistanis. “Rohingyas should not be allowed to become voters in India at any cost. We will support the rights of minorities in other countries, but we strongly oppose any attempt to allow Bangladeshis, Pakistanis, or Rohingyas to be included in India’s electoral process,” Chaudhary added.
