New Delhi: Accusing Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of “wasting” public money on advertisements and misleading people, Home Minister Amit Shah sought to know Sunday whether the AAP government has completed any work in the last five years.
He alleged that Kejriwal came to power in Delhi fives years back by misleading people with a host of promises.
Addressing party workers here, Shah alleged that Kejriwal was “wasting” public money on advertisements and said somebody can mislead people once but not all the time.
He exuded confidence that the BJP will come to power in Delhi under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The BJP has been out of power in Delhi since 1998.
Asking whether the AAP government has completed any work during its tenure, the BJP president listed the works done by the Centre for Delhi in the last five years.
Reacting to Shah’s comment on its governance, the AAP took to Twitter and invited the Home Minister to one of the 150 Mohalla Clinics inaugurated Sunday.
Today Delhi Govt has inaugurated #150NewMohallaClinics across Delhi.
We would like to invite @AmitShah to visit these Mohalla Clinics. ? https://t.co/S2xP8LIZXY

The BJP president also accused Kejriwal of “favouring the tukde tukde” gang by not giving sanction to prosecute Kanhaiya Kumar, the former president of the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students Union (JNUSU), in the JNU sedition case.
Urging party workers to undertake door-to-door campaign to take the BJP’s message to the people, Shah said he will himself take part in ‘mohalla sabha’ campaign in the national capital.
Shah accused Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra of instigating “riots” by “misleading” people on the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and sought to reassure Muslims, saying the law has no provision about taking away citizenship of minorities.
Opposition leaders were spreading a pack of lies over the CAA, he said, asking BJP workers to carry out an intensive campaign to inform the masses about its features.
The opposition was inciting minorities against the CAA by alleging that they will lose their citizenship, he said.
“I want to tell brothers and sisters from the minority that none of them can lose their citizenship because the CAA has no provision about taking it away,” Shah said.
The BJP leader also claimed that Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra had extended her support to rioters by saying that she will visit houses of those who carried out riots.
Shah said opposition parties have become habituated to the “politics of opposition and vote bank” and referred to their stand against measures like the law against triple talaq among Muslim men and nullification of Article 370.
They also opposed construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya, he said, noting that a recent Supreme Court order had paved the way for building the temple.
He asked people to give missed calls to a toll free number put out by the BJP to show their support to the CAA and slammed rumours that the number belonged to Netflix, a streaming service. This number belongs to the BJP, he said.

Shah is a evil personified. This illiterate goon stands no chance against a qualified high IQ personality like Mr Kejriwal. I sincerely hope the educated ones in Delhi show this man his real place, in the gutters.
Look who us TALKING? The maximum amount of MONEY was wasted by who? Investigate!!!!!!
Amazing to see the shamelessness brazenness and stupidity of Shah.. he should once look at the mirror and all fits in place for BJP.. Max money wasted by BJP on Modi and his ads.. As media has been completely compromised so the Opposition had no option but to resort to giving ads to media for getting some additional time on media.. BJP cannot fool Delhi.. and Delhiites must teach BJP a lesson by keeping it in single digits..
