Criticism of AAP Leadership
Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal criticized AAP leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, accusing him of hypocrisy and failing to deliver on past promises.
Meghwal pointed out inconsistencies, such as Kejriwal’s earlier claims of not using government housing or security, which he later adopted.
“Kejriwal’s actions expose his duplicity,” Meghwal stated. “With a BJP government in place, Delhi will witness significant development under a double-engine government.”
BJP candidate Dushyant Gautam also raised concerns over the capital’s poor drinking water quality, highlighting the need for better governance.

- AAP’s Position: AAP aims to retain power by focusing on its governance track record, particularly in education and healthcare.
- BJP’s Strategy: The BJP is banking on high-profile leaders like Yogi Adityanath and Prime Minister Modi to rally voters.
- Congress’s Resurgence: Congress is striving to regain lost ground, presenting itself as a viable alternative.
