NEW DELHI: Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha on Tuesday shared a video of himself showing around Arvind Kejriwal‘s “Paris waali Delhi” as he took a jibe at the former chief minister’s 2019 promise to make the national capital as clean as the European city.
Walking through piles of garbage, the Congress leader said, “Dekho dekho, Delhi dekho, Paris waali Delhi.” The situation is the same everywhere,” he added.
In 2019, the then Delhi CM and AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal had pledged to transform Delhi into a city as clean as “Tokyo, London, and Paris” within the next five years if re-elected. His party was re-elected with Kejriwal as the CM again.
This comes a day after Rahul, in his first poll rally for assembly elections, compared the AAP chief with Prime Minister Narendra Modi for making “false promises”.
“Just like Modi Ji makes false promises and propaganda one after the other, Kejriwal Ji also has the same strategy – there is no difference!” he had said.
Kejriwal reacted to this saying that Rahul “abused him” and said: “Today Rahul Gandhi came to Delhi. He abused me a lot. But I will not comment on his statements. His fight is to save Congress, my fight is to save the country.”
Delhi is set to go to polls on February 5 and the votes would be counted on February 8.
