Arvind Kejriwal takes a jive at BJP
Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi, issued a statement on Sunday to remove the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from office at the federal level, calling it the “biggest act of patriotism” that would remove all barriers to the nation’s advancement. The BJP, according to Kejriwal, could have accomplished much more with the support it received in the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Arvind Kejriwal: “Unseating BJP would be the biggest act of patriotism in 2024.…”
“The people blessed them (BJP) with landslide mandates in 2014 and 2019. They came to power with a significant majority in both elections. They could have achieved much more and put the country on the path to progress if they so wanted. However, today we can see how the ambience in the country has vitiated under their rule,” the chief minister told AAP volunteers at a gathering.
“Unseating them from power would be the biggest act of patriotism in 2024. The country will progress only then. No one understands what prompted them to take certain decisions. It makes one wonder if those decisions were made by them or someone else,” he added.

Kejriwal praising AAP
Heaping praise on AAP volunteers, Kejriwal said, “The people of my constituency are all praise for our government as much as they are for our party’s volunteers. Our volunteers don’t come with any political background. Our party itself doesn’t have a political background.”
Kejriwal stressed the lack of political experience of even senior party figures like Manish Sisodia, Satyendar Jain, Atishi, and Saurabh Bharadwaj, making them stand in for the average person. Delhi CM remarked, contrasting AAP leaders with those in other parties, “We are the ‘aam aadmi’.”
Kejriwal hits out at BJP
“The leaders of other parties are often found to be involved in hooliganism, skirmishes, and exploitation of people for their personal benefit. My sense is that people don’t like or favour such leaders. However, they like our leaders as they are polite and courteous. If you come across a leader, who appears to be a nice human being, rest assured that he is one among us. This is the trademark of the AAP.” the Delhi CM added.
Kejriwal also took potshots at the BJP over the raids on opposition leaders. “These people (BJP) don’t ask the ED and CBI to investigate their own. They may label a leader as the most corrupt one day and bring him into their party the day after, making the deputy CM or minister.”
