NEW DELHI: Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday asked people to throw Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari out of their houses when he comes seeking votes for the Lok Sabha polls because the latter has said that Delhi cannot be granted the status of full statehood. Kejriwal was speaking at a rally at Gokulpur.
Kejriwal stated that Tiwari has been telling people that full statehood cannot be granted to the capital even though BJP used the issue to seek votes in 2014 Lok Sabha polls in Delhi.
Kejriwal also attacked PM Narendra Modi and accused him of destroying the communal harmony of the country.
Even though talks are reportedly on for AAP-Congress alliance, Kejriwal said that people will get nothing by making Congress president Rahul Gandhi the PM. "Delhi will get nothing by making Rahul Gandhi the PM or reelecting Narendra Modi. Their parties did nothing for Delhi," Kejriwal said.
