Shah raises heat on Kejriwal over Yamuna, 'scams'

Union home minister Amit Shah on Thursday attacked the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its national convener Arvind Kejriwal on a slew of issues, from the excise policy case to the controversial comments on Yamuna water, as he urged Delhi voters to "press the EVM button of the BJP so hard that windows of Sheesh Mahal shatter".

NEW DELHI:

Addressing public meetings at Rohini, Shah termed the 10 years of AAP rule as "misgovernance" and said removal of "AAPda" (danger)—a play on the ruling party's name first used by Prime Minister Narendra Modi—was the only way to progress Delhi.

In response, the AAP said that the Delhi model was the best in the country.

On the day, Shah also addressed public meetings at Wazipur and New Delhi, besides holding a roadshow in Shalimar Bagh, scaling up the party's election campaign.

In a three-pronged attack, Shah targeted Arvind Kejriwal on issues of corruption, Yamuna controversy and governance.
