Kejriwal Accuses Opponents of Manipulating Women Protesters
On Saturday, Arvind Kejriwal, the national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), made a significant assertion regarding the women protesting outside his residence. He claimed these women were not locals from Punjab but were affiliated with opposition parties, particularly Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Kejriwal argued that the women of Punjab stand united in their support for AAP.
Challenge to Congress and BJP
During a media briefing, Kejriwal called on the Congress and BJP to confirm their supposed partnership against AAP for the upcoming elections in Delhi. This statement comes in the wake of criticisms from the protesters who accused the AAP-led Punjab government of failing to deliver on its promise to provide ₹1,000 to every woman.
Commitment to Delhi Residents
Highlighting his administration’s commitment to the people of Delhi, Kejriwal reminded journalists of the longstanding policy that has provided free water for a decade. He attributed recent spikes in water bills to mismanagement by the opposition following his return from incarceration. In light of these inflated bills, he urged residents not to settle for these amounts, assuring them that AAP would address the issue once it regains power in the forthcoming elections.
AAP’s Dedication to Women
Kejriwal’s statements underline AAP’s continued dedication to ensuring the welfare of women in Punjab and Delhi, reinforcing his belief that the women’s support is critical for the party’s success.
