Asserting that national Capital needs a person, who could work in tandem with the Union Government to usher in development, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Badal on Tuesday urged Delhi voters to reject Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Arvind Kejriwal and vote for the BJP Government. Sukhbir, addressing a public gathering at in Kalkaji at New Delhi, said that the Delhi Government was an extension of the Central Government in many aspects. "Most of the departments in the Delhi Government are under the Centre and it is to Delhi's advantage if a BJP Government is voted to power," he said.
"A vote for Kejriwal would be a vote for anarchy whereas a vote for the BJP-SAD combine would be a vote for development under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi," he said. Urging the people to make a comparison of the achievements of both Kejriwal as Delhi Chief Minister and Modi as the Prime Minister before casting their votes, Sukhbir said, "On one hand, you have an anarchist who is only interested in holding dharnas while on the other, you have a Prime Minister who has consolidated India's position in the world. United States President Barack Obama's visit is a testament to this fact," he added.
Also Punjab Deputy Chief Minister, Sukhbir said that as far as the AAP was concerned, recent developments had proved that its leaders preached one thing and practiced the other. "AAP leaders had promised not to take shady money but now it has come to light that the party had taken a donation of Rs 4 crore from the same party through four cheques. This seems to be a clear cut case of money laundering," he added.
