You will realise condition of water of river Yamuna: HM
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday amped up his attack on Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal challenging him to take his shirt off and take a dip in the Yamuna, mentioning the river continues to be in a state of neglect.
“The AAP had said they will clean the water of river Yamuna. Kejriwalji, today I challenge you to take off your shirt and take a dip in river Yamuna. You will realise the condition of the water of river Yamuna,” said Shah in a nukkad meeting in Najafgarh Assembly constituency.
Pertinently, ahead of the announcement of the Union Budget for the financial year 2020-21, Kejriwal wrote to the Union Minister to increase Center’s share for Delhi citing various issues pertaining to air and Yamuna pollution, sanitation and other development works.
Taking a jibe at Kejriwal for his promise to make Delhi’s road like Europe, Shah said he (Kejriwal) cannot figure out potholes on Delhi’s roads.
Also, Shah attacked the Kejriwal Government for its statement related to transforming Delhi’s infrastructure to international standards while addressing meeting in support for Najafgarh BJP’s candidate Ajit Khadhari.
Once again, deviating masses from Delhi’s issue, Shah spoke about Citizen (Amendment) Act (CAA) and Shaheen Bagh protesters. “Delhi people will decide by their vote whether they are with the anti-CAA protesters or with the Government which sends anti-national elements to jail,” Shah said.
Hitting out at the AAP, the senior BJP leader said the Kejriwal Government had promised to open 1,000 new schools in Delhi but failed to do so, he (Kejriwal) is running schools in such buildings which have been marked for demolition. “The AAP has put the lives of innocent children in danger,” Shah said while mentioning about other promises made by the AAP during 2015 Assembly elections like induction of DTC buses and assurance of pukka house for slum dwellers.
