BJP has won elections in past that seemed very difficult, says Shah in Delhi; claims Kejriwal will 'fail' as in Varanasi

Union Home Minister and BJP leader Amit Shah on Monday termed as "shameful" Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's opposition to Citizenship Amendment Act, accused him of misleading people of Delhi in 2015 elections and claimed the AAP chief will "fail" this time in the city as he had in Varanasi and Punjab.

Addressing a gathering of 'cyber warriors', who campaign for the BJP on social media, Shah said that the BJP has won elections in the past "that seemed very difficult", though its supporters had been tense.

"The BJP has won elections in the past that seemed very difficult. Our opponents had been happy, and supporters tense. But whenever our cyber warriors got into the act, we came out victorious," he said at the 'Jeet Ki Goonj' event held at Jawaharlal Nehru (JLN) Stadium ahead of February 8 Delhi Assembly elections.

Targeting the AAP chief on CAA, he said, "Kejriwalji says BJP is worried about 'Pakistanis'. I want to tell them that 30 per cent of Delhi's population are people from Pakistan who came after partition.

"If this is your stand, it is shameful. They are only worried about their vote-bank. PM Modi wants to give citizenship to these refugees who are under a lot of distress. Should we not give them citizenship?"
"The trend is set to continue. We won 88 per cent of the booths in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls," he said
