Kejriwal Attacks On PM Jibe, Says: "Am World's Sweetest Terrorist"

PM Modi called AAP a "photocopy" of the Congress


New Delhi: Ahead of the upcoming Punjab Assembly Election polls, the AAP (Aam Aadmi Party) convenor Arvind Kejriwal today lashed out at allegations that he had made separatist comments, calling them "comedy" and describing himself as the "world's sweetest terrorist."

 

The Aam Aadmi Party chief has been attacked by the BJP and Congress over a video of a former party leader, Kumar Vishwas, claiming that he had spoken about becoming PM of a separate state.

 

"They have all ganged up against me and they are calling me a terrorist. It is a comedy - it is a laughing matter. If that is the case, then why doesn't (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi-Ji arrest me?" Mr Kejriwal (Delhi CM) said to reporters.

 

"I must be the world's sweetest terrorist, a terrorist who provides schools, hospitals, electricity, roads, water...," the Delhi Chief Minister said.

 

Recently, Prime Minister Modi accused the Cong. of belittling and insulting the sacrifices of the soldiers who died during the 2016 Pathankot attack.

 

While doing a fierce attack on the opposition parties, PM Modi also accused the Congress and Aam Aadmi Party of being "partners in crime".

 

He called AAP a "photocopy" of the Congress and said both of them are not happy with the Ayodhya temple or whenever the army does something.

 

"Don't tolerate these people," he said to a cheering audience at an election rally in Punjab's Pathankot and added that "one-party looted Punjab, and the other is doing corruption in Delhi."

 

Recently, AAP took support from Congress to form the government in Delhi as well, PM Modi pointed out.

 

"Punjab has decided, iss Baar pakka parivartan. (This time change for sure)," he said. The Prime Minister claimed that the BJP looks at Punjab from the perspective of "Punjabiyat" whereas his rivals look at the state only through the lens of political power.
