May 20, 2024
New Delhi [India], May 20 : Terming the Lok Sabha election a battle to protect the Constitution, Delhi Congress President Devender Yadav on Monday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is frustrated with the support Congress is getting during the Lok Sabha polls.
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi is frustrated with the support that the Congress is getting in the polls. They (BJP) have no records of the work and development that they have done in the last 10 years. They are trying to contest the election on religious grounds," Devender Yadav told ANI.
"This election is now between the common people and the BJP. Now, the people understand that the Constitution is in danger. It is a battle to protect the Constitution," he added.
In Delhi, Congress has a seat-sharing arrangement with the Aam Aadmi Party in the Lok Sabha election according to which Congress is contesting three seats and AAP in the remaining 4 seats in the national capital.
Both parties have intensified their attack on the BJP, accusing it of undermining the Constitution, political highhandedness, and misusing Central investigative agencies for political handedness.
AAP leader Sanjay Singh on Monday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of plotting an attack on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
While addressing a press conference in the national capital, Singh said, "The BJP has been in a state of panic ever since Arvind Kejriwal came out of jail. The BJP is now plotting to launch a deadly attack on Arvind Kejriwal. This conspiracy is being conducted directly from the Prime Minister's Office. A threat of attack on Kejriwal ji has been written at Rajiv Chowk and Patel Nagar Metro stations."
He alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP are so immersed in hatred that they are conspiring to kill the Delhi CM, adding that the PMO, BJP and PM Modi will be responsible if anything happens to Kejriwal.
"PM Narendra Modi and the BJP are so immersed in hatred and revenge that they are conspiring to kill Arvind Kejriwal ji. I want to tell the government, administration and Election Commission that if anything happens to Arvind Kejriwal, the PMO, BJP and Narendra Modi will be responsible for it," the AAP leader said.
He further claimed that Kejriwal was not given insulin for 23 days when he was lodged in Tihar jail.
"First, these people did not give insulin to Arvind Kejriwal ji in jail for 23 days and now all this is being done. If Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal gets even a scratch, then the BJP and PM Modi will be directly responsible for it," Singh said.
All seven seats in Delhi go to the polls in a single phase on May 25 in the sixth of the seven phases of the ongoing general election.
