Launching a scathing attack on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and also the Congress, PM Narendra Modi today described the anti-CAA protests at Shaheen Bagh and violence in Seelampur and Jamia Millia Islamia earlier as a “well-planned experiment/design in divisive politics” to harm harmony.
“Whether it is Seelampur, Jamia or Shaheen Bagh, protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act are not a coincidence but a well-planned experiment/design in divisive politics,” the PM said at his first political rally days before the Delhi polls on February 8, indicating that the BJP was in no mood to throttle back its election strategy despite criticism against some of its leaders over their speeches.The PM accused AAP and the Congress of “provoking” the people.
“Much is being disseminated about the Constitution while keeping the Tricolor in front in an attempt to divert from the real conspiracy. The people of Delhi are watching and know of this vote bank politics. This has to stop otherwise today it is this road (Shaheen Bagh), tomorrow it will be some other road,” he said.
“The Supreme Court and High Courts have expressed displeasure over violence and arson during demonstrations but these people do not care about the courts….they do not listen to the courts yet talk about the Constitution. If the power of conspirators increases, then tomorrow another road, another street will be stopped. We cannot leave Delhi in this chaos. Only people of Delhi can stop it, vote for the BJP.”
Recounting steps taken by his government, the PM accused the Congress of ignoring important issues for decades . “All the issues could have been resolved much earlier but when self-interest comes first, country’s interests take a back seat. There is why we have had to take such important steps one after the other,” he explained, mentioning abrogation of Article 370, Ram Temple, Kartarpur corridor, CAA and construction of National War Memorial and National Police Memorial.
“These people (AAP) will not allow progress because they do not know anything except politics. The country got a Lokpal but Delhi is still waiting for one”, the PM said, reminding the people that Kejriwal had launched his political career via the anti-corruption/Lokpal agitation.
