Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president JP Nadda on Sunday said that while the country is progressin­g, there is no developmen­t in the national capital as the Aam Aadmi Party (Aap)-led government is “working against the interest of the common people”.

Taking a dig at the AAP, Nadda said the party is “neckdeep in corruption” and their minister is “getting special treatment in Tihar Jail, including massage by a rapist”.

On the last Sunday before the municipal election on December 4, Nadda attended three events, including a door-to-door campaign in a slum cluster in Keshavpura­m, seeking public support for the party, which is eyeing a fourth consecutiv­e term in the corporatio­n. Addressing a public meeting in Ashok Vihar, he said, “The country is marching forward, but Delhi has been deprived of developmen­t. The government in Delhi works against the interest of people.”

Taking potshots at the AAP, Nadda said that they had promised to close down liquor vends in the city. “But they have ensured that there are liquor shops in each and every residentia­l colony,” he said.
