BJP AND RSS CONFUSING VOTERS: KEJRI

-

NEW DELHI: Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal Saturday alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamseva­k Sangh (RSS) would tacitly support the Congress to cut into AAP votes ahead of 2019 general elections.

Addressing a public meeting in Rohini, the Aam Aadmi party convenor alleged that the RSS was trying to confuse voters through their murmur campaign in the national capital.

“RSS is carrying a door-todoor campaign, which is also being spread to the parks in Delhi during morning walks to mislead voters of Delhi,” Kejriwal said.

“They engage with people at their homes and parks and say that Modi has ruined everything and the Congress was better than Modi. This is being done to split the anti-bjp votes in order to make the BJP win the Lok Sabha seats from Delhi. The RSS wants the Congress to get some votes and defeat the AAP,” he said, asking voters not to fall for the trap.

In response, Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee chief Ajay Maken accused Kejriwal of playing a fixed match with the BJP. “I have said it before as well. There is a fixed match between the BJP and the AAP due to which people of Delhi suffer.” BJP MLA and leader of opposition in Delhi assembly, Vijender Gupta, hit out at Kejriwal for his ‘double speak’. “Actually, the AAP is furthering the Congress’s agenda. Arvind Kejriwal’s credibilit­y is zero. That’s why he is making such statements,” he said.
