Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah on Saturday said Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal is terrified of his party's chief ministerial candidate Kiran Bedi's record against crime and corruption.
"Kejriwal and company are terrified of Kiran Bedi's record of fighting against crime and corruption," Shah said at a mega rally in Karkardooma here where Prime Minister Narendra Modi will also pitch for the Delhi elections.
Shah further accused Kejriwal of failing to stick to his word.
"He had said that he'll take action against Sheila Dikshit, but it never happened," he added.
The BJP chief also recounted the promises that his party had fulfilled since it came to power.
"We had promised that we will take care of the nation's security and in this regard we have taken appropriate steps. Whatever BJP says, it also implements," Shah pointed out.
The BJP, which has been locked in a pitched battle with Kejriwal's party ahead of the crucial polls, has been posing five questions to the AAP everyday as part of its ongoing election campaign.
The AAP, however, has hit back at the BJP for not issuing a manifesto and shying away from a debate between Bedi and Kejriwal.
Elections in Delhi are scheduled to take place on February 7, with the counting of the votes to take place on February 10.
