Kejriwal Counters PM Modi’s ‘Aapda’ Remark; Showcases AAP’s Achievements

In response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent remarks, where he described the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-led Delhi government as ‘Aapda’ (crisis), the party’s National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal countered the claim, emphasizing his government’s accomplishments.

Addressing a press conference on Friday, Kejriwal stated, “Jo kaam AAP Sarkar kar rahi hai use log aapda nahi aashirwad kehte hai (The work the AAP government is doing isn’t a crisis; people call it a blessing).”

“Aapda Delhi mein nahi BJP mein aayi hai (The crisis isn’t in Delhi; it’s within the BJP). The first crisis for the BJP is that they don’t have a Chief Ministerial face. The second is that they lack a narrative – they don’t even know what issues to contest the election on. The third crisis is that they don’t have an agenda for this election. These three crises are within the BJP,” he added.

AAP Has Damaged School Education & Brought ‘Aapda’ To Delhi: PM Modi

Earlier today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), asserting, “Those who have been in power in Delhi for the last 10 years – have damaged school education.”

PM Modi also targeted AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal, noting, “In the last 10 years, Delhi has been surrounded by an ‘Aapda’. By keeping Anna Hazare at the front, a few ‘kattar beimaan’ people have pushed Delhi towards ‘Aapda’. ‘AAP aapda bankar Delhi par toot padi hai.”

BJP Made 2.78 Lakh People Homeless In 5 Years: Arvind Kejriwal

Kejriwal, however, strongly refuted these claims, highlighting the significant strides made by the AAP government in areas such as education, healthcare, electricity, water, and infrastructure. He argued that listing the party’s achievements would take hours, in contrast to the BJP’s lack of accomplishments over the past ten years.

“In contrast, the BJP government hasn’t done a single thing in ten years that the Prime Minister could proudly highlight in his speeches. If they had accomplished anything, they would be showcasing it instead of criticizing the people of Delhi,” said the AAP National Convenor.

He further remarked, “During the 2020 elections, the Prime Minister made several promises to the people. He had assured that by 2022, every person in Delhi would have a permanent house. This was also stated in their manifesto. Today, the Prime Minister handed over the keys to 1,700 houses. This isn’t the first time – in total, they have constructed only 4,700 houses in five years. Delhi needs 1.5 million houses, yet only 4,700 have built in five years.”

Kejriwal also alleged that the BJP had made 2,78,796 people homeless in the past five years by demolishing slums.

“The Prime Minister had promised permanent housing but deceived the people. By the 2030 elections, they plan to demolish all slums in Delhi. These people are enemies of the poor. In five years, I built 530 mohalla clinics; had the PM built 5,000, he would’ve earned praise. I constructed five new hospitals; had he (PM) built 50, he wouldn’t have needed to criticize me,” he said.

The Election Commission will announce the dates for the Delhi assembly elections, which are likely for February.
