Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has hit out at the BJP after being repeatedly labelled a “terrorist” in an outrageous verbal assault by Lok Sabha MP Parvesh Verma at an election rally in West Delhi last week.

In an emotional Twitter post, Arvind Kejriwal said “after working hard, day and night, for Delhi for five years… in return BJP is calling me a terrorist. I am very sad”.
Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh said that they would approach the Election Commission to take action against the remark.

“I am a diabetic. I take insulin four times a day. Without food for four hours, patients collapse. Yet I sat on a fast twice — for 10 days and 15 days. I put my life at stake for the country. But they left no stone unturned to harass me. Yesterday, when I returned home, and spoke to my parents, they were unhappy. They know that Kejriwal is a staunch desh bhakt.” The Delhi CM added that the decision was now left to be taken by Delhi residents, “whether they consider me as their son, brother or antankwadi”.

Meanwhile, BJP continued to target Kejriwal, as the Delhi polls are approaching. After taking on the Kejriwal government over the alleged ‘failure’ of government schools in the national capital, the BJP released another video highlighting the ‘poor-infrastructure’ of Kejriwal’s flagship Mohalla Clinic initiative. “Kejriwal, you promised to open 1,000 mohalla clinics every year. Whatever small number of clinics you opened lack even the basic facilities,” BJP chief JP Nadda wrote in a tweet.

Former BJP chief Amit Shah termed the Delhi Chief Minister as the “biggest liar” he had seen in his entire life. Amit Shah said Arvind Kejriwal had lied that he won’t take a government bungalow or a car. “Now, he has bungalow and car both. Kejriwal is the biggest liar I have seen in my 56 years,” the BJP leader said.

Addressing a rally at Shastri Nagar in the Sadar Bazar constituency, Union Minister Smriti Irani alleged that the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) did not respect women. She accused Kejriwal, of not helping AAP volunteer Soni Mishra, when she complained about her alleged physical harassment in 2016.

On the other front, The Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress has backed Aam Admi Party for the Delhi polls. Banerjee condemned attacks on Kejriwal during the general elections and lashed out at the BJP over the issue.
