New Delhi [India], January 31 (ANI): Congress leader Supriya Shrinate on Friday said that Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal is going to lose his seat in the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections. Her remarks followed a challenge from Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit, who asked Kejriwal to publicly answer questions at Jantar Mantar.
“Kejriwal himself is going to lose his seat…AAP is also going to lose the elections. You were in power for 10 years…but you have nothing to talk about, even today you keep cribbing…what did you do, that is what we want to know…he has become so upset because he knows that he will lose the election, this is the fear of defeat… and even a child of this country knows that BJP and Congress can never get unite,” she said.
Congress leader Pawan Khera, who accompanied Shrinate, also criticised Kejriwal, stating, “Today I am here to listen to Arvind Kejriwal and Sandeep Dikshit…let’s see how much guts he has. The whole of Delhi kept believing in him for the last 10 years and he broke that trust. This one last time he is getting to a stage where he can answer the questions.
Meanwhile, as Kejriwal did not turn up at the venue at the designated time Sandeep Dikshit said, “Let’s wait, there is time, we had called him (Arvind Kejriwal) around 2 pm…we also took some time because of the traffic jam, let’s wait for 10-15 minutes more. Let’s see if he comes or not…if he doesn’t come, we will send him the questions…let’s see what he does.”
Earlier in the day taking a swipe at Kejriwal on Friday, Dikshit had said that being an engineer, he is saying such absurd things that a student of class 5 or 6 would not say.
As the battle for the February 5 assembly polls in Delhi intensified, the Congress leader alleged Arvind Kejriwal of lying. “…He (Arvind Kejriwal) said that I have done so much work; I have just said that whatever you say, say it with a record. Today, at 3 pm, it will be clear that either Congress or AAP is speaking the truth… Both BJP and AAP are distributing cash to get votes; I want to ask them if they are in politics or the market?” the Congress leader said.
“… Sometimes, I fail to understand what Arvind Kejriwal) studied at IIT. Being an engineer, he is saying such absurd things that a student of class 5 or 6 would not say. What had he done? I think he passed his exams by cheating… I’ll suggest he should go through his engineering books–he will come to know how much he lies,” added Dikshit.
Sandeep Dikshit is up against AAP’s Arvind Kejriwal and BJP’s Parvesh Verma in the New Delhi constituency for the upcoming February 5 polls.
Delhi will go for polls in a single phase on February 5, while the counting of votes will take place on February 8.
The Congress, which was in power for 15 consecutive years in Delhi, has suffered setbacks in the last two assembly elections and has failed to win any seats. In contrast, the AAP dominated the 2020 assembly elections by winning 62 out of 70 seats, while the BJP got only eight seats. (ANI)
