“First he left his job and ran away… then left his duty as Chief Minister and ran away and he even ran away from Varanasi. If he was so fond of running he should have run a marathon. At least he would have won a gold medal,” said BJP leader Navjot Singh Sidhu in an attack on Aam Aadmi Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal while campaigning in the Sadar Bazaar area of Delhi Cantonment.
The BJP leader played to the gallery and had the crowd in splits as he campaigned for the BJP candidate from Delhi Cantt, Karan Singh Tanwar.
He laced his address with stories, anecdotes, couplets and used analogies from cricket to drive home his point that it was only under a leader like Narendra Modi in the Centre and Kiran Bedi in the State that Delhi could see progress worth 50 years in a span of five years.
“Even if he comes to power Arvind Kejriwal will say I cannot give electricity because distribution of electricity is with the Centre, I cannot give water because Haryana is not releasing it and I cannot provide security because Delhi police is not under me,” added Mr. Sidhu. The former cricketer said that the Congress is of no threat and it has already got a name worse than munni's (borrowing from the popular song munni badnaam hui ).
Karan Singh Tanwar said that although he worked hard he could not get work done as power both in the State and the Centre was with the Congress. Now, he said that with the PM and Defence Minister’s help he would get clean water and ensure that people are not harassed by demolition drives apart from addressing many other issues.
