New Delhi [India], October 6 : Launching a scathing attack against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Former Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal said that the BJP's double-engine governments are going from Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir. He added that double engines have failed in the country.
"I was watching TV yesterday evening, exit polls were coming. BJP's double-engine governments are going from Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir. The double engine has failed in the country. The first engine failed in June when they got 240 seats. The second engine will also fail from Jharkhand and Maharashtra slowly. People have understood that double-engine government means inflation, unemployment and corruption," said Kejriwal addressing the 'Janta Ki Adalat' event held in the national capital.
"They have governments in 22 states. Ask them if they have provided free electricity even in one of the states. We have made government schools better. In Gujarat, they have been in power for 30 years. They have made the education for the poor worse. I challenge PM Modi to make electricity-free, schools and hospitals better. The law and order situation is bad in Delhi. The crime in remote areas has become worse. What is the BJP doing when all this is happening? They are only trying to halt our developmental work," he added further.
Slamming the BJP on the ongoing controversy over bus marshals' recruitment, Kejriwal said, "We recruited bus marshals after forming a government. The situation became better for women in buses. It became safe for women and children. They should be ashamed of removing bus marshals. I requested Delhi L-G to not do so. These bus marshals are very poor people. They get just Rs 15,000 per month. They snatched away the jobs of these 10,000 bus marshals as well."
Speaking at the same event, Delhi Chief Minister and AAP leader Atishi slammed BJP calling it an "anti-poor party".
"Delhi is the only place where even in the scorching heat, 24-hour electricity is available and still the bill would be zero, this Arvind Kejriwal's Delhi...BJP is an anti-poor party and they make the poor people suffer. Since the last few years, BJP's central govt has been demolishing 'Juggis' across Delhi one by one, BJP stopped the old-age pension 6 months ago..." she said.
