Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal on Friday reacted sharply to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘AAPada for Delhi’ jibe at the party, and said that work done by the government is “not AAPda but people’s blessings".

“Our work is not ‘AAPda’ but people’s aashirwaad," Kejriwal said at a press conference, as the political temperatures in the national capital rise in the run-up to the Assembly Elections due next month.

What Did PM Modi Say?

The Prime Minister addressed a public meeting in Ashok Vihar’s Ramlila Ground and slammed the Delhi government over “sheeshmahal", the name given by the BJP to the new Chief Minister’s residence in the city.

He also described the AAP government as “AAPda government" and said that the people have now waged a war against it.

“Ye AAP, ye ‘aapda’, Delhi par aayi hai’, and hence the people of Delhi has waged a war against ‘aapda’. Voters of Delhi have made up their minds to free Delhi from this ‘aapda’. Every voter of Delhi is saying, ‘aapda ko nahi sahenge, badal ke rahenge’…" PM Modi said.
