Lashing out at Arvind Kejriwal over his "bribery remarks", BJP president Amit Shah today said that the AAP leader has "insulted" the people of Delhi and asked them to give a befitting reply in the upcoming election.
In an address to booth in-charges meeting at Rohini of northwest Delhi, Shah asked party workers to tell voters about what the AAP leader thinks about them.
"Despite issuing notice by Election Commission to Kejriwal, he speaks such things again and again. I want to ask Kejriwal whether the voters of Delhi are up for sale. Kejriwal has insulted the people of Delhi by saying that while people should accept bribe from BJP and Congress, they should vote for AAP," Shah said here.
He also asked BJP's workers to approach every voter and tell them about "What Kejriwal thinks about the voters of Delhi".
"Mr Kejriwal, you don't know about the voters living in Delhi who elect such representatives who rule the country through their governments.
"Delhi's voters know very well whom they will vote for...They are not the ones up for sale... And he should stop insulting them, else the people of Delhi will give a befitting reply by pressing the button on EVM on February 7," Shah said.
Addressing workers, the BJP president said, "When you (BJP workers) go among voters, you should tell them that Kejriwal says that Delhi's voters should take bribe for giving votes, and also that if you (voter) take money for giving vote...Nobody has any right to insult the voters of Delhi.
