Hisar : Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday targeted the Centre, alleging that never before had so many “bank scams” taken place under any regime since India’s independence even as he declared that his party would contest the next Assembly polls in Haryana.
Kejriwal asked the people of the state to reject the ruling BJP as well as the opposition Congress and the INLD.
He claimed both the BJP governments at the Centre as well as in Haryana had failed the people.
“The number of bank scams that have taken place during the Modi government’s time; never before had so many scams taken place under any government since independence,” Kejriwal claimed at his party’s ‘Haryana Bachao’ rally here.
“I want to ask PM Narendra Modi, that if people of this country want to deposit their hard-earned money, which bank is safe? What if the bank goes bankrupt and all the money of the public is gone,” he said taking a jibe.
“Second question I want to ask Mr Modi is that Vijay Mallya and Nirav Modi escaped with thousands of crores. When will they be arrested? When will we get our money back?” he continued.
Attacking the Manohar Lal Khattar government in Haryana, Kejriwal claimed the state witnessed several incidents of violence ever since the BJP assumed power and many innocents were killed and property worth crores of rupees destroyed.
The AAP national convenor, who hails from Haryana, asked the people of the state to strengthen his party. “Only you can build a new Haryana.”
AAP will contest the next elections, he said referring to Assembly elections. “We will create a new Haryana. If you want peace, security, schools, hospitals, roads, then vote for AAP,” he said.
Senior AAP leaders Sushil Gupta, Gopal Rai and Navin Jaihind also addressed the gathering.
