AAP is a ‘backstabber’: Modi

New Delhi: In a hard-hitting attack on AAP, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday called it “backstabber” and asked Delhiites not to repeat the “mistake” of voting for the Arvind Kejriwal-led party.
During his over half-an-hour address at an election rally, Modi sought a clear mandate for the BJP, which fell short of majority in the 2013 polls, and asserted that his party will provide such a clean and stable government which people have “never seen” in the past, countering AAP’s key election plank.
Taking on AAP without naming the party, Modi made fun of its performance in the Lok Sabha elections, saying it “created a world record in forfeiting deposits”. “The very people whom you voted for last time stabbed in your back.
They shattered your dreams and destroyed Delhi. You gave them a befitting punishment in Lok Sabha polls. People do not repeat their mistakes again and again.,” Modi said in the rally at Viswas Nagar in East Delhi. Calling Delhi the face of India, he said this election would decide how the country is seen at the global stage. “There is no better place than Delhi for India’s identity.”
Modi also complimented Kiran Bedi, whose annoin-tment as the party’s Chief Ministerial candidate ruffled feathers in Delhi BJP, for her administrative abilities. “She knows Delhi inside out. She has administrative expe-rience and is well versed with the history and geography of Delhi. She is a woman with strong determination.(PTI)
