Modi says Delhi is now ‘AAP-da’ free, accuses Cong of stealing allies’ agenda

NEW DELHI, Feb 8: Projecting BJP’s win in Delhi Assembly polls as no ordinary victory, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday that the people have got rid of “AAP-da” after a decade and promised the entire national capital region the country’s best urban infrastructure.
Addressing joyous BJP workers at its headquarters here, Modi delivered a warning to the outgoing Aam Aadmi Party government saying that the CAG reports, which have reportedly highlighted its alleged financial irregularities, will be tabled in the first assembly session and all cases of corruption probed by the new dispensation.
“Those who have looted will have to pay back. This is also Modi’s guarantee,” he said, describing former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and his party colleagues as “most corrupt”, without taking any name.
People have short-circuited the politics of short-cuts, he said.The BJP’s “historic” win has ushered in a festival of victory and relief of getting rid of “AAP-da” (disaster) among the people of Delhi, he said.“The country does not need the politics of ‘dhoort-ta and moorkhta’ (deceit and foolishness),” Modi said targeting AAP as well as the Congress.
He said the main opposition party is now “stealing” the agenda of its allies and eying their votes after its leaders’ bid to identify with Hindu causes through temple-hopping cut no ice with voters.
Modi was apparently referring to the Congress taking up in a big way the issue of caste census and other planks traditionally associated with socialist and regional parties.
He said the people of Delhi have expressed their full trust in “Modi ki guarantee”, and the BJP will repay their “debt” by developing the city with double speed. He assured the city that the BJP government will make every effort to clean Yamuna. “It may be a long haul but Mother Yamuna will surely bless our efforts,” he said.Modi asserted that the new BJP government will fulfil all its promises, as it has done in every state where it is in power. Lashing out against the Congress and Rahul Gandhi, the prime minister took up his remarks of fighting the Indian State to claim that the opposition party is not doing politics of national interest but of “urban naxals” and that it is speaking the language of spreading anarchy.
