Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi slammed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday at rallies in east Delhi's Patparganj and Okhla assembly constituencies.
NEW DELHI:
The senior Congress leader also hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for allegedly sidelining President Droupadi Murmu because she has a tribal origin.
Addressing a public gathering in support of the Congress's Patparganj candidate Chaudhary Anil Kumar, Gandhi said that the AAP chief Kejriwal promised a "different kind of politics" but instead led the "biggest liquor scam of the country". "Kejriwal used to come in a small car and promise a new kind of politics. If you remember, he climbed on an electricity pole against corruption. He is now involved in the biggest liquor scam this country has seen. When Modi ji threw me out of my house, I handed over the keys and said I didn't need it, but Kejriwal lived in a Sheesh Mahal that everyone has seen," Gandhi said.
