Arvind Kejriwal insulted PM Modi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying that the country needs an “educated Prime Minister” while lashing out at the BJP over the arrests of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain.
“The day the Prime Minister sent Manish Sisodia to jail, I felt it is absolutely necessary to have an educated prime minister in the country to understand the importance of education,” he said.
Speaking at a ‘Jansabha’ gathering in Madhya Pradesh, he promised free electricity, education and health facilities if his party came to power in the BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh where Assembly elections are due by year-end.
What Arvind Kejriwal said?
During covid19 pandemic, PM Modi appealed the citizens to beat plates in order to increase the confidence of people. The citizens were too much feared and thus, this appeal was made by PM Modi to the citizens.
Kejriwal said, “If the prime minister is less educated, someone comes to him and advises him to make people beat plates to shoo away coronavirus. He made people do that, but did coronavirus flee? Therefore, it is necessary for the prime minister to be educated.”
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann accompanied Kejriwal. “People of Madhya Pradesh have given enough opportunities to both the Congress and BJP which ruled the state for 45 and 30 years, respectively. Just give a chance to AAP, and as in Delhi and Punjab, we will provide free electricity, education and health facilities to the people of the state,” Kejriwal said.
