Uma Bharti today accused AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal of “using” Anna Hazare and said the party does not deserve another chance as its government “ran away” from responsibilities after remaining in power for 49 days.
“I urge the voters to give them only sympathy but no votes. They even used Anna Hazare who is a Mahapurush. Arvind Kejriwal used him to enter politics and forgot him after forming the government,” she said addressing a rally at Rajinder Nagar.
“He forgot that if public gives opportunity, you owe a responsibility to them. But they were just interested in grabbing the opportunity,” she said.
Lauding Kiran Bedi’s entry into BJP, she said, “I am glad Bedi did not fall prey to his political game and detached herself from AAP timely.”
“It was a good decision by BJP to project Bedi. I am myself is a fan of her.”
Bharti said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given a sense of pride to Indians and that no one feels Indians are “helpless” now after BJP came to power.
In Ghaziabad, Uma Bharti said Kejriwal needs public sympathy not vote.
“Kejriwal has been exposed before the people of Delhi and they don’t trust him and his false promises,” the BJP leader said, adding that this time BJP will get clear majority.
She was here to participate in a private function at the residence of BJP leader Sangh Priya Gautam.
The minister also attacked Congress president Sonia Gandhi and its vice president Rahul Gandhi while referring to allegations levelled by former UPA minister Jayanthi Natarajan.
“Allegations levelled by Natarajan are totally true. Rahul Gandhi intervened and stopped a prestigious project,” she said.
The minister for water resources, river development and Ganga rejuvenation said her ministry will form committees to clean all the rivers of the country.
Bharti also said that Hindon river will be treated as other holy rivers and cleanliness programme will be launched with the help of UP government.
