BJP, Cong should take lessons from AAP on governance: Kejriwal

Hitting out at BJP and Congress for questioning his party's governance skills, Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal today said they should take a lesson from his party which took several steps for the welfare of the people during its short 49-day rule.
"It is no big deal to run government. Only thing you need is to have good intention. They (BJP and Congress) are saying that we don't know how to govern, but I want to tell them that AAP-led government had taken several steps for the welfare of people which they both could not take during their ruling periods," said Kejriwal while addressing a gathering in Trilokpuri in east Delhi.

Praising his government in Delhi, Kejriwal said, "When we were in power, we took decisions for curbing corruption."
Kejriwal alleged Congress and BJP were taking money from electricity companies and so were always mum when the power and water rates were hiked in the national capital.
"When our party came to power, police and MCD officials had stopped taking bribe from people. As we got out of power, they again started taking bribe," he said.
AAP chief alleged in Delhi, around 90 per cent of the crime was committed in connivance with the police and that they have knowledge about every crime.

Slamming Narendra Modi's Gujarat 'model of development', he alleged that people in the state had to give bribe for getting any work done there.

"When I went to Gujarat, I found that people had to give bribe to officials for petty issues. There is no development in Gujarat," he said.
"When I sat on dharna outside the Rail Bhawan, BJP took a jibe at me. I want to tell it that when Narendra Modi sat on dharna in 2006, an air-conditioned pandal was made for him," he said.
Speaking on the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, he said, "When there was NDA-government at the Centre, BJP didn't come forward to constitute any SIT to probe the riots. But, when we came to power, we took steps for SIT probe into the riots.
