Delhi Assembly Elections 2025: The announcement of the dates by the Election Commission is still awaited for the upcoming assembly elections in the national capital Delhi. However, the election stir in Delhi has intensified even before the polling date is announced. On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also blew the election bugle in Delhi on behalf of the BJP and attacked the Aam Aadmi Party government fiercely. PM Modi also slammed AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal without naming him. PM Modi said that some 'hardcore dishonest' people have pushed Delhi towards 'disaster'. After the Prime Minister's address, Arvind Kejriwal now hit back at PM Modi by holding a press conference. He claimed that the PM abused 'AAP' and the people of Delhi.

What did PM Modi say?

Addressing a rally at Ramlila Maidan in Shok Vihar, Delhi, PM Modi said, for the last 10 years, Delhi has been surrounded by a big 'disaster'. By putting Anna Hazare ji in the forefront, some 'hardcore dishonest' people have pushed Delhi towards a 'disaster'. Scam in liquor shops, scam in children's schools, scam in the treatment of the poor, scam in the name of fighting pollution, scam in recruitments. These people used to talk about the development of Delhi, but, these people have come upon Delhi in the form of a 'disaster'. These people openly do corruption and then also glorify it. First theft and then boasting, this 'disaster' has come upon Delhi and that is why the people of Delhi have started a war against the 'disaster'.

Arvind Kejriwal hits back

Shortly after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'disaster' jibe at Delhi's ruling party AAP, party chief Arvind Kejriwal responded to his remarks by saying that the Bharatiya Janata Party is the "enemy of the poor". The former Delhi chief minister said that for 39 minutes in his 43-minute speech, the PM "abused the people of Delhi and the government elected by them with a massive mandate". Kejriwal said that the Aam Aadmi Party did a lot of work in the last 10 years, while the BJP-led central government "did nothing that PM Modi could mention in his speech".
