Voters in Delhi have the option of availing a “buy one, get one free” offer if they ensure Kiran Bedi becomes the Chief Minister here as there is already Prime Minister Narendra Modi leading the Government at the Centre, former BJP MP Navjot Singh Sidhu said on Friday.“You voted for Modi as Prime Minister. Now vote for Bedi as Chief Minister. This is a ‘buy one, get one free’ offer,” cricketer-turned-politician Sidhu said, while addressing a rally at Tilak Nagar in West Delhi.
He also took a jibe at the shortlived AAP Government in Delhi led by Arvind Kejriwal, which had resigned after 49 days in office, saying such things happen when a “monkey is elected in place of a lion”. Sidhu also raised doubts over the financial viability of AAP’s electoral promises about slashing tariffs for water and power and providing free WiFi.
“How will Kejriwal make WiFi and water free when he can’t pay his own rentIJ” he asked.In the address which was filled with his trademark quips, Sidhu termed the poll contest as a fight between good and evil. “This electoral contest is a fight between dharm and adharm.” Terming the Capital the “heartbeat” of the nation, he said Delhi’s progress was crucial for India’s development.
“Dilli desh ki dhadkan hai. Dilli ko theek kar do, desh theek ho jayega,” he said. BJP MP Anurag Thakur, who was also present at the rally, meanwhile, hit out at Kejriwal, saying, “Kejriwal is a factory of lies. One day he will get his name registered in the Guinness Book Of World Records for it,” he said.
