Taking a jibe at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi BJP on Sunday lambasted him saying he is trying to divert people's attention from banning firecrackers during Diwali and failing to clean up the Yamuna once again by talking about free “revdi” or freebies culture. Criticising Kejriwal, the Delhi BJP said that he has no vision to rule and only depended on freebies.
Addressing the media, Delhi BJP president, Adesh Gupta said that Kejriwal has never kept his promises and every year before Diwali and Chhath Puja, instead of cleaning Yamuna Maa, chants a new raga.
Gupta termed Kejriwal as ‘anti-hindu’ saying that he is trying to stop the people from celebrating Chhath Puja which is a holy festival and is celebrated across the countrty, thats why he has not done anything to get the yamuna river clean. Gupta said that Kejriwal is trying to divert people's attention from his failures of not cleaning the polluted Yamuna once again by talking about free revdi.
“The people need clean air to breathe, not your free revdi, clean Yamuna for their religious festivals like Chhath Puja. If instead of distributing revdi, the taxpayers' money had been used to control pollution at the right place, then the air of Delhi would not have been this worse,” he said.
Gupta said that the Kejriwal government has always worked to hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus. On the one hand, by banning firecrackers, they work to prevent the celebration of a holy festival like Diwali, while their own ministers are making videos of bursting crackers in front of their house. After all, how long will Kejriwal continue to deceive Delhiites with such anti-Hindu mentality and hurt religious sentiments.
Leader of Opposition of Delhi Assembly, Ramvir Singh Bidhuri said that revdi culture is about dishing out lollipops for political gains and it makes no transformation to people’s lives. “It misuses taxpayers’ money with the rich benefiting at the cost of the poor,” Bidhuri added.
He claimed more than 700 of the 1,027 schools the Delhi government runs do not have science and commerce teachers in Class 11 and 12 and over 745 schools have no principal. Nearly 418 schools have no vice principal”, he added.
