Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal asserted on Tuesday that with each passing phase of the Lok Sabha polls, it's increasingly evident that the Narendra Modi government is losing ground, paving the way for the INDIA bloc to ascend to power on June 4. Speaking at a virtual press conference, Kejriwal emphasised that the INDIA bloc will offer a stable government to the nation.
"With each passing poll phase, it is becoming clearer that the Modi government is on its way out and the INDIA bloc will come to power on June 4," he said as quoted by news agency PTI. Kejriwal claimed that Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath abused him in their poll rallies held in Delhi on Monday.
"You said Kejriwal has no support in India and has more supporters in Pakistan. You can abuse me but do not curse the people of the country. If you curse the public, no one will tolerate it," he added.
Kejriwal's reaction came in response to a statement made by Shah during his rally a day earlier while seeking votes for his party's candidate in the South Delhi constituency Ramvir Singh Bidhuri. "Kejriwal and Rahul (Gandhi) have no support in India, their supporters are in Pakistan," the home minister had said.
AAP supremo, who was arrested in connection with the alleged excise scam, has been granted interim bail by the Supreme Court until June 1, allowing him to campaign for the Lok Sabha elections. The court said he shall surrender on June 2, a day after the last phase of the seven-phase poll gets over.
