Rahul Gandhi responsible if Modi comes back to power, Cong harming opposition: Kejriwal

Rahul Gandhi will be responsible if Narendra Modi comes back to power, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said Friday, accusing the Congress president of harming the SP-BSP alliance in Uttar Pradesh, the Left in Kerala, the Trinamool Congress in West Bengal and the AAP in the national capital.

The AAP national convenor's attack, during a wide-ranging interview to PTI, comes two days ahead of elections in Delhi, which is witnessing a three-cornered contest as talks for an alliance between the Congress and the AAP did not fructify.

"Congress is harming SP-BSP alliance in UP, Left in Kerala, TMC in West Bengal, TDP in Andhra and AAP in Delhi... If Narendra Modi comes back to power, Rahul Gandhi will only be responsible," Kejriwal said.

"It is appearing as if the Congress is fighting the polls against opposition parties and not against the BJP. The Congress is acting as a spoilsport," he added.

The Delhi chief minister alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had "totally failed" in delivering anything in the key sectors and that is why he has been resorting to "fake nationalism".

"Modi-ji's nationalism is fake. It is dangerous for the country. He is using the armed forces to get votes as he does not have any work to show," he alleged.

Referring to Pakistan PM Imran Khan's comments that there will be better chance of peace between the two countries if BJP wins the polls, Kejriwal wondered why the leader of the "enemy country" was supporting Modi.

"There was a war-like situation between India and Pakistan. But Khan said make Modiji PM again. It is difficult to understand what is happening," said Kejriwal.

Slamming Modi for his Pakistan policy and regularly mentioning armed forces during election campaign, Kejriwal charged: "In last 70 years, no Prime Minister has insulted the armed forces to the extent Modiji has done."
