While campaigning for Delhi polls entered the last leg on Saturday, Chief Ministers and senior leaders of different States held Jan Samvaad for their respective parties.
Amid the blame game on Shaheen Bagh firing incidents, CAA, NRC were lauded in Delhi streets.
In a first, while campaigning for the BJP, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath alleged that those who support terrorists in Kashmir are staging protest at Shaheen Bagh and raising slogans of ‘azadi’.
Hitting out at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) dispensation at an election rally in northwest Delhi's Rohini, Adityanath said that the Arvind Kejriwal Government supplies biryani to protesters at Shaheen Bagh.
Addressing another poll rally at Karawal Nagar Chowk in east Delhi, the BJP leader lashed out at anti-CAA protesters and said their ancestors divided India, so they have a grouse against this emerging 'Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat'." "These protests happening at various places in Delhi are not about the CAA, but it is happening because those people are questioning as to how can India emerge as a major power in the world, and to stop that rising India," Yogi claimed.
Citing the anti- CAA protest across country, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot alleged that the government did not know what people really expected of it, leading to protests and tensions in the country. "There is a lot of tension in the country since over a month. There was no requirement of protests but if this government understood what citizens want, this situation wouldn't have arrived," he said.
He said the Congress believes in keeping all religions, sections and classes together. "Whether it was the time of Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi or the present leadership, they have always looked at Indians as one. Neither their policies nor decisions affected citizens in a wrong way," Gehlot said.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh also accused BJP for creating disharmony in Delhi.
Referring to fresh incident of Shaheen Bagh open air firing where no casualty reported, AAP leader said that I had warned that the BJP is conspiring to vitiate the atmosphere of Delhi, since the BJP is scared of its humiliating defeat in the February 8 Delhi Assembly elections.
AAP leader accused Shah and said he wants to postponed Delhi elections at any cost.
"How is it possible that open firing is taking place in Delhi on a daily basis?" Yogi is mentally sick," Singh said.
Meanwhile, leaving no stone unturned, political parties will fielded their senior leaders on Monday. Prime Minister Narender Modi will hold two rallies in Delhi on Febraury 3 and 4 while RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav will also hold two roadshows and two public meetings here in support of his party and Congress candidates in the run up to the Delhi assembly elections.
Rashtriya Janata Dal spokesperson Manoj Jha said Yadav will hold a roadshow in Palam on Sunday while a joint public meeting of RJD-Congress will be organised in Vikaspuri on Monday. Jha, flanked by Delhi Congress chief Subhash Chopra, said leaders and workers of both parties will campaign for Congress and RJD candidates.
