Hitting out at Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday accused Arvind Kejriwal's party for misleading the people in its five year tenure. "A new dispensation will take over and accelerate development in the national Capital after Assembly polls," Said Shah.
Taking social media platform, Shah alleged the Aam Aadmi Party made only promises. "I am confident that through this festival of democracy, the Government led by a party, which misled people for five years and gave hollow promises, will be defeated and a Government will be formed under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi that can fulfil the people's aspirations," he tweeted.
A new dispensation will take over and accelerate development in the national capital," Shah said. In a series of tweets, Shah also alleged the AAP government made only promises throughout its tenure and now in the last three months, public money was being spent on advertisements for its announcements.
Shah said the people of Delhi are still looking for free Wi-Fi, 15 lakh CCTV cameras, new colleges and hospitals, as promised by the AAP government. Welcoming the announcement of the polls, Shah said this election will lay the foundation for accelerating development in Delhi. "I hope that the people of Delhi will vote in large numbers and create a new record," he said.
"Some students shouted anti-India slogans, said 'Bharat tere tukde honge'. Tell me, should not they be sent to jail?" Shah asked . "But Kejriwal is not granting sanction to prosecute them," the Bharatiya Janata Party leader said. "Who do you want to save, Kejriwal ji? Those who want to break India into pieces?"
On Sunday, Shah had also accused the Aam Aadmi Party convener of favouring the "tukde tukde gang" by not giving sanction to prosecute former Jawaharlal Nehru University students' union president Kanhaiya Kumar in a sedition case.
The elections to the 70-member Delhi Assembly will take place on February 8 and results will be declared on February 11, the Election Commission announced on Monday.
