BJP’s Manoj Tiwari takes a dig at Kejriwal; condemns shooting incident at Shaheen Bagh

NEW DELHI: BJP's MP Manoj Tiwari slammed Delhi’s CM Arvind Kejriwal over shooting incident carried out by Kapil Gujjar, a member of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). He called the actions of the Delhi CM “condemnable.”

Tiwari also said that no one in his party has called Kejriwal a “terrorist.”

Tiwari also said that foul language used by his party men against anti-CAA agitations should not have been used.

"Slogans like 'Goli maaro' should not be used. It is not correct. For criminals and anti-nationals the judicial system is there. But to use the opportunity and make your party worker fire shots in the air is even more condemnable," said Tiwari told NDTV today.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has come up with a “28-point guarantee card” to lure voters with promises for a better Delhi. Delhi will vote on February 8.

The poll promises include curriculum on patriotism; 24/7 markets and shops; pilgrimage for senior citizens; incentives for farmers and much more.

The BJP is leaving no stones unturned to come back to power in the national capital.

The Delhi Assembly election has become a question of credibility for the Bharatiya Janata Party. Party president J.P. Nadda has asked 250 BJP members to stay at slums across the capital from Tuesday night till election day. Party MPs will pitch tents at slums at night and share dinner with the slum dwellers. Instructions in this regard were also issued at the party meeting on Tuesday, sources said.

The Congress on Sunday released its manifesto for Delhi polls, promising to pass a resolution against the Citizenship Amendment Act if elected to power.

In the last column of its manifesto, the party said that it will pass the resolution in the first session of the Delhi Assembly after the elections and will ask the Centre to withdraw the Act.

The manifesto stated: “The CAA brought by the BJP is against the basic spirit of our constitution. By February 21, 2020, the INC government will go to the Apex court and challenge the constitutional validity of the CAA under article 131.”

The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) facilitates citizenship to the Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi, and Christian minorities, who had fled persecution from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan before December 2014. After the passage of the Act in Parliament, violence erupted in various parts of the country in which scores of people were killed. A major anti-CAA protest is also going on at Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh area.
