Kejriwal hits back at Harsh Vardhan over ‘Delhi ke bete’ remark
New Delhi, Jan 31 (HS): Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday hit back at Union Minister Harsh Vardhan’s remarks, Dilli ke bete”, saying that BJP might not consider those born in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana and settled in the national capital as “their own” but the AAP government considers them as “part of the family”.
“Doctor Sahib, your hatred is for me. You can abuse me. But how can you call all those who were born in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana and settled in Delhi as not your own?” Tweets Kejriwal.
“BJP might not consider them as their own. But they are part of our Delhi family. We Delhiites have adopted them all, made them our family,” he said.
Harsh Vardhan in a press conference earlier had said, “how the AAP chief can call himself a son of Delhi as he was born in Hisar and associated with Anna’s movement from Ghaziabad.” Vardhan further said that this election was between lies and truth, between nationalism and treason.
Vardhan further asserted that the BJP had a strong chance of winning in the upcoming 2020 Assembly elections due to the work done by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government at Centre.
