BJP takes on AAP, poses another set of five questions

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which is banking on the development work done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government in the last eight months, on Friday posed yet another set of five questions to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) as part of its ongoing election campaign for the Delhi Assembly polls.

Continuing her party's criticism against Arvind Kejriwal, BJP leader Nirmala Sitharaman questioned the Aam Aadmi Party's claim of giving houses to the poor and also asked about the dodgy funding received by them.

"AAP in its manifesto is talking of giving houses instead of jhuggis but in small print is written 'if it is not possible'. If you are really so much concerned about poor living in jhuggi jhopdis then why don't you have the confidence?" Sitharaman asked.

"Why both Congress and AAP have not mentioned even one little paragraph on North-East in their manifesto?" she added.

Sitharaman alleged that both the Congress and AAP have no plan to make Delhi a world class city.

The BJP leader also lashed out at AAP's promise of 5000 buses in its manifesto.

"Where is the proposal for reducing traffic congestion?" she asked.

"Directors of the SKN Company on 5th April gave AAP donation of 2 crores. Is there a quid pro quo [something from something]?" she added.

The BJP has been posing five questions each day to the AAP as part of its ongoing campaigning for the polls.

Voting for the 70- member Delhi Assembly is scheduled to take place on February 7 while the counting of votes will take place on February 10.
