Chirag Slams Kejriwal Over Remarks About Voters From UP And Bihar

Patna: Union Minister Chirag Paswan on Friday criticised former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for his remark "fake voters from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar" and wondered whether the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) wanted a "dual citizenship" system in the national capital. Speaking to reporters, the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) president asserted that the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) would win the upcoming Delhi assembly elections, claiming that the people were frustrated with AAP's repeated complaints about lack of cooperation from the Centre.

"In the last 10 years, the AAP government has failed to deliver on its tall promises of transforming Delhi's roads and water supply. All the ruling party has done is complain about non-cooperation from the Lieutenant Governor (LG), who takes orders from the Centre," Paswan said. He added, "So, people have now made up their minds to have a government in Delhi that enjoys the goodwill of the LG and the Centre.

I am confident that on February 8, when the votes are counted, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's prediction of a double-engine government will come true with the BJP-led NDA's victory." Responding to Kejriwal's allegation that "fake voters from UP and Bihar" were being brought to Delhi to boost BJP's prospects, Paswan remarked, "I just had a meeting with Bihar's new Governor Arif Mohammad Khan. Among the things we discussed was the role played by migrants of UP and Bihar," the Union minister said.
