AAP’s Kejriwal, Bhushan mount scathing attack on Modi govt

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 10 Januari 2015 | 22.44

NEW DELHI: Hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal, saying that those who wanted to be anarchists should go join the Naxalites in the jungles and not talk about anarchy in Delhi, Kejriwal said that he has never indulged in such personal attacks.

"The BJP had no positive agenda for Delhi. The PM spoke negatively of the 15 years that the Congress was in power. But did not utter a single negative thing about our 49-day rule. This means we did a good job, " AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said at a news conference.

"It doesn't make a difference what I am. At least I am not corrupt," Arvind Kejriwal said.

Arvind Kejriwal said that they could see that BJP is nervous. "They do not have any positive agenda for the Delhi polls," the AAP chief added.

"They neither know how to protest nor to govern. We know both. Only we can end corruption," Kejriwal said. The AAP leader added, "We ended corruption in Delhi in 49 days. What has BJP done at the Centre?"

'BJP govt anti-people'

Earlier on Saturday in Thiruvananthapuram, lawyer and senior APP leader Prashant Bhushan alleged that the Modi government was trying to implement "four dangers of communalism, obscurantism, fascism and anti-people pro-corporate economic policies."

Bhushan, who was in the capital of Kerala to campaign on the platform of anti-corruption movement, said the Narendra Modi government had plans to rollback some progressive legislations brought in by the previous UPA regime.

He said, "There are four dangers under this rule. They are communalism, obscurantism, fascism and anti-people pro-corporate economic policies."

Accusing the affiliates of the BJP of indulging in rampant communalism, Bhushan told reporters that Prime Minister Narendra Modi might not have direct involvement in this but was "granting permission to his ground-level workers to do this thing."

Taking a dig at the government's approach towards science and history, he said, "those in the government are consciously replacing experts with obscurantist people in institutions and they are pushing us to the stone age."

Some people-friendly legislations like RTI Act, MNREGA schemes, Forest Right Act and amendments to Land Acquisition Act brought out by the previous government were under threat, he said.

Though no major scam had hit the government in its seven-month rule yet, nothing appeared to have happened at the institutional level to check corruption, he said.

Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, without naming Kejriwal or his party, said at a rally in Ramlila Maidan that if the AAP leader wants to be an "anarchist" as he has claimed to be, he should go to jungles to join naxals as Delhi cannot have anarchy. Kejriwal had said about a year ago that he is an "anarchist".

Modi suggested that Kejriwal has "mastery" in "lies" and dharnas and protests and should be given that role only and that power should be given to BJP which has "mastery" in administration.
