New Delhi: Delhi AAP national convener and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal accused the BJP of using central agencies like CBI and ED against opposition. He launches a tirade against the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led central government, saying that there are two models of governance in the country — “the developmental model of the AAP and the destruction model of the BJP”.
Kejriwal, while speaking at Delhi Assembly, said, “While the AAP spearheads initiatives to enhance government institutions, provide essential services like free 24×7 electricity and facilitate pilgrimage for the elderly, the BJP’s approach leans towards obstructing the endeavours of the opposition governments through institutions like the ED and CBI.”

The CM also urged people to rally against forces “hindering” crucial services such as mohalla clinics, education and free electricity, emphasising collective action to save the city from such “enemies”.
Kejriwal said that with a focus on women empowerment, this year’s budget targets the uplift of mothers and sisters, as highlighted by the announcement of Rs 1,000 allocation for every woman above 18 years of age.

“In the year 2014-15, two significant events occurred in the country. In May 2014, the people of the country gave a strong mandate to Modi ji and the BJP, with 282 seats in the Centre. Towards the end of that financial year, in February 2015, the people of Delhi gave a huge mandate to the AAP and gave us 67 of the 70 seats and helped us form a new government.”
Kejriwal said when the people form a government with a strong mandate, obviously there is a lot of hope from it. “Both the BJP government and the AAP government have presented two types of models in the past 10 years, and both the models are such that they guarantee victory in elections. However, one of them is a development model and the other is a model of destruction.”
“In Delhi, we don’t have the police, we don’t have the Lieutenant Governor (LG). Earlier, we didn’t have any power at all. But slowly and steadily, fighting, and pleading, we fixed schools, fixed hospitals, gave a future to the children, gave the children of the poor their dream of becoming a doctor or engineer to the poor children,” Kejriwal added.
