Accordingly home minister amit shah on monday took a swipe at the AAP for joining hands with the congress in delhi for the lok sabha polls, saying whether the Arvind Kejriwal-led party forms an alliance with the congress or merges with it “nothing is going to happen because zero plus zero remains zero”. The AAP and the congress have no lok sabha seat from delhi where the bjp won all the seven seats in 2019 and 2014 elections. “You can keep forming alliances but prime minister Modi will return to power with over 400 seats,” Shah asserted.
The aam aadmi party hit back at the home minister for his tirade, saying the people of delhi have shown their repeated preference for an “honest government”. ‘They will ensure the ouster of the bjp in the upcoming lok sabha elections and lend further strength to arvind kejriwal in the Parliament, it said. Shah slammed the AAP as he launched piped natural gas supply line in 41 villages and developmental works in 178 villages of the national capital under Dilli Gramodaya Abhiyan. He was accompanied by delhi Lt governor V K Saxena and Union Housing and Urban Affairs minister Hardeep Puri.
AAP said “Where were the bjp MPs when the rights of the citizens of delhi were snatched through the GNCTD Act? Have you ever heard the bjp MPs raise their voice that the honest hard working citizens of delhi are amongst the highest tax payers of the country but the bjp does not give a penny from the Central taxes to Delhi?”.
