Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday said the Jharkhand Assembly poll results appeared to be a verdict against the National Registration of Citizen (NRC) and Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and reflects the public reaction to the "arrogance" of the BJP visible across the country.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener said, "BJP leaders had aggressively campaigned in the last two phases of the Jharkhand Assembly polls, raising the issues related to the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) and NRC." "So it appears that the people of at least one State have conclusively given their verdict that they do not want it (CAA and NRC)," Kejriwal added.
He alleged that the result reflected public reaction to the arrogance of the BJP visible across the country.
He also congratulated Jharkhand Mukti Morcha's (JMM) Hemant Soren for the poll victory and said the BJP's electoral loss meant that its Government did not perform well in Jharkhand. "People want to vote for performance, apparently they (BJP Government) did not work," Kejriwal said.
