PM Narendra Modi on Friday slammed AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal over the alleged lavish renovation of the Chief Minister’s residence, noting while he had provided housing for four crore people, he had not built a sheeshmahal. The Prime Minister also accused the Delhi government of corruption and neglecting the city’s infrastructure, and termed the ruling party as AAPda, meaning disaster. While launching a housing project for slum dwellers in the national capital, Narendra Modi said that he could have built a sheeshmahal, but for him, his dream was that his countrymen should get permanent houses.
He said that the country knows well that Modi has never built a house for himself. However, in the last 10 years, over four crore homes have been built for the poor, fulfilling their dreams, he continued. The Prime Minister’s remarks were in reference to the claims that Arvind Kejriwal spent approximately Rs 45 crore on the renovation of his official residence while as Chief Minister, which included lavish expenses such as Rs 1 crore on curtains and Rs 6 crore on flooring.
Continuing his attack on AAP, the PM said that the party has committed a liquor scam, school scam, and pollution scam, and are openly engaging in corruption and even publicising it. He mentioned that it is a disaster for Delhi, and the residents have declared war against this disaster. While addressing an event in Ashok Vihar, PM Modi asserted that Delhi is saying in unison, Aapda Ko Nahi Sahenge, Badal Kar Rahen.
