I want to appeal to the people of Delhi to give an opportunity to the BJP for the bright future of Delhi, it is the BJP which can develop Delhi. In the last 10 years, the government that Delhi has seen is no less than ‘AAP-DA’. Now, we can only hear ‘AAP-DA nahi sahenge, badal ke rahenge’ in Delhi. Delhi wants development and the people of Delhi have trust in BJP,” PM Modi stated whereas addressing the ‘Parivartan Rally’ at Japanese Park in Rohini.
In response, Kejriwal accused the BJP of not fulfilling the guarantees made to the folks of ‘Delhi Dehat’, including that this time they may take ‘revenge’ from the BJP.
