Kejriwal says BJP roped in Kiran Bedi, Ilmi after Modi flop show
18 Jan 2015 5:16 AM IST
Addressing the sixth phase of Delhi Dialogue of AAP at East Delhi’s Trilokpuri on Friday, the former Delhi Chief Minister accused the BJP of doing “venomous politics.”
“The BJP is rattled and nervous. Earlier, they sent 200 MPs to campaign in Delhi. I attended one of the rallies and I saw seven MPs on the stage and only 10 people on the chairs. When that did not work, it pressed on its ministers.
“When ministers did not work, the Prime Minister stepped in. When his rally turned out to be a flop, now they have introduced Kiran Bedi and Shazia Ilmi in the party, but let me tell you truth will always prevail,” Kejriwal said. Just before the rally, he took to social media to hit out at Bedi and Ilmi for accusing AAP of doing “negative” politics.
The AAP chief said he is fighting to make Delhi a better place while the BJP is fighting to defeat him.
“From the Ramlila Maidan the Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) and today Kiranji and Shazia also said that we do negative politics. But my question is people who loot the nation come to power and nobody says anything, but when a common man wants to come to power, it is not even tolerated?” Kejriwal said in a series of tweets.
He lashed out at the BJP for the controversial comments by its MPs and the communal tensions in the national capital.
Referring to BJP MP from Unnao, Sakshi Maharaj, the AAP chief said that the saffron party was behind curbing the freedom of women. “Delhi was peaceful for the past 35 years, but ahead of assembly polls they are doing venomous politics while AAP does politics of love and brotherhood.
“They won elections on developmental plank, but now they say, we (the BJP) will do love jihad...we will not allow women to wear jeans... women should produce four babies. Are our mothers and sisters a baby producing machine? Who will feed the rest of the two,” the AAP chief said.
Accusing BJP of razing slums, Kejriwal promised pucca houses for slum dwellers and freehold rights to the lease holders at affordable rates, as it presented its agenda for 15 lakh residents of 45 resettlement colonies in the national capital. He said the party will simplify the procedure of transferring the ownership of plot if it comes to power.
“The land in the resettlement colonies is given on lease.”
“If our government comes to power, those who are original lease holders will be given freehold rights of their properties by paying a meagre sum of Rs 10,000 and who are not original lease holders will be given freehold rights by paying a sum of Rs 50,000,” Kejriwal said.
Describing Congress as “anti-poor”, Kejriwal said: “Previous government had made this provision of awarding free hold rights by paying Rs 60,000 (original allottees) and Rs 12.5 lakh (non-original allottees), but I have proposed to slash this amount so that it could be affordable to you all.”
He further added: “The BJP has demolished slums in Rangpuri, Wazirpur and many other places. The Prime Minister says that he will provide pucca houses to the slums. But until that time where the people whose houses have been demolished will, reside?”
Meanwhile, there were massive security arrangements in Trilokpuri due to the rally. More than 100 security personnel of the Delhi Police and ITBP (Indo Tibetan Border Police) were deployed to avoid any untoward incident.
The entry and exit points, including the road from Patpargunj, Mayur Vihar phase -1 and Kalyanpuri to Trilokpuri area were being guarded by armed security personnel.
