Modi Slams 'AAPda' Govt Amid Big Delhi Infrastructure Push
Hindustan Times Lucknow
|January 04, 2025
Prime Minister Narendra Modi lashed out at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Friday, likening Delhi's ruling party to a disaster and calling for the defeat of former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal in the upcoming assembly elections, while opening a string of big-ticket infrastructure and educational projects in the Capital.
NEW DELHI:
At the event in Ashok Vihar, Modi accused the Delhi government of blocking central schemes and sheltering corruption, and Kejriwal of building a "sheesh mahal" (shimmering palace) in what was a virtual launch of the Bharatiya Janata Party's assembly polls campaign.
"This is the capital of the country, and the residents of Delhi have dreamt of good governance. But for the past 10 years, Delhi has been surrounded by a major 'AAPda (disaster)'. Some extremely corrupt individuals, using Anna Hazare's image, have pushed Delhi into this AAPda," Modi said during his 43-minute speech.
