While the election rhetoric began with talks on development and basic amenities, the campaigning quickly diverted to issues like Shaheen Bagh, Pakistan, Biryani, terrorists, and traitors.
In an exclusive interview to The Quint, Election in-charge of Aam Aadmi Party and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh elaborated on multiple issues, a day ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections.
Delhi Police said Shaheen Bagh shooter Kapil Gujjar was linked to AAP after they released a photo of Singh and Gujjar, alleging that the two are linked, to which Sanjay Singh said:
"BJP wants to ruin the entire election process with its politics. A conspiracy is being hatched to discredit AAP. It wants to spoil the atmosphere of Delhi. Whoever has been caught firing in Shaheen Bagh should be punished in the harshest manner, even if it is my brother. "
The Aam Aadmi Party has been accused of providing freebies to the public and thereby looting the government treasury. Responding to this, Singh says:
BJP has alleged that Aam Aadmi Party is not forwarding Kanhaiya Kumar's file and is trying to save the ‘traitor’, to which Sanjay Singh said:
The AAP leader also suggested that patriotism be taught in schools and Lokpal Bill be implemented in Delhi as soon as possible. He alleged that BJP is afraid of Lokpal and is therefore not passing it.
Singh also said that BJP leaders have all the time to take trips across the country to convince people on the CAA, but cannot make efforts to meet the women protesters in Shaheen Bagh.
