He further highlighted that the Chief Minister, who once found the Jat community "repulsive," was now suddenly trying to appeal to them as elections approached.
“This is the same Arvind Kejriwal who refused to let the Jats and the people of rural Delhi enter his house. But now, as elections approach, and rural Delhi—including Jats, Gurjars, Yadavs, Tyagis, and Rajputs—unite against him, Kejriwal suddenly remembers the Jats,” he said.
Sahib Singh also questioned Kejriwal’s failure to act on requests from rural farmers. “Rural Delhi farmers had demanded the benefits of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme of Rs 6,000, but Kejriwal failed to provide the list to the central government,” he said. “I wrote to Arvind Kejriwal, requesting a memorial for my father, Sahib Singh Verma, on land owned by the Delhi government, but Kejriwal has not responded.”
