Kejriwal achieved nothing as Delhi CM: Satish Upadhyay

With decks cleared for assembly polls in the state, Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Satish Upadhyay on Wednesday asked Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal to identify the seven good deeds that his government had achieved during its 49 days in office.

Upadhyay maintained that Kejriwal had done nothing of note during his 49 days in office except staging protests, speaking lies, posting wrong tweets, climbing on the secretariat wall and cheating the people.

"He used to talk about providing 700 liters of water, but the poor don't have water connections inside their huts. He also talked about reducing electricity bills, but he gave subsidies after taking money from the plan head, that too not permanently, and even if it was permanent, then why did he run away," he said.

Upadhyay further said that it is the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) which came up with various pro-people schemes, and added that Kejriwal did nothing except talking.

With the Union Cabinet recommended the dissolution of the Delhi Assembly and setting the stage for fresh elections in the days to come, the political parties have begun finalizing their poll campaign strategy to grab power here.

The BJP, which was single largest party in the last polls here, is pinning its hope on Prime Minister Narendra Modi who will be their star campaigner in the forthcoming polls.

President's rule was imposed in Delhi since February after Kejriwal-led AAP government stepped down after remaining in power for 49 days.
