The only person that can stand out in front of Delhi’s Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal, seems to be Kejriwal himself when he praises Modi. With quintessential Kejri-swag, the Delhi CM urged people to vote Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) if they love their children.
Speaking at the Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya at New Friends Colony, Kejriwal said, “If you ask people who they’ll vote for, they say Modi Ji. If you ask them why, they say because they love Modi Ji. Now decide whether you love your children or whether you love Modi Ji”. Further lashing out against the parents sitting in the audience, the ‘politician beyond comprehension’ stated, “And if you don’t love your children, vote for Modi Ji… Modi has not built a single school for you. You can either do desh bhakti or Modi bhakti”.
Deputy CM of Delhi Manish Sisodia, who accompanied him at the event, too spoke in the same tone. Calling Modi supporters novice and illogical, Sisodia said, “Someone told me that they will vote for Modi in the elections…because woh achhe lagte hai (we like him)… I told them that if you love your children, vote for those who are building schools for them. So I’m telling all parents, and asking all children here to go home and ask their parents whether they love you or not”. The duo further attacked the Centre for “blocking” his government in Delhi in conducting the welfare schemes.
However, parenting advice coming from Mr. Kejriwal sounds very ironical. It was the days just after the Anna movement, when the “cape crusader of anti-corruption” vowed to his children that he would not ally with the Congress in any circumstance but, when his party was short of the majority after the Delhi assembly election of 2013, Kejriwal promptly broke the vow and took support of the Congress party. And then it became a habitual thing for the ‘paragon of hypocrisy’.
The incumbent Delhi CM also extended his term as the National Convener of the party, amending the party’s constitution. According to the party constitution, “No member will hold the same post as an office bearer for more than two consecutive terms of three years each”. But the ‘embodiment of morality’ brought an amendment in the constitution to remove the limit of two terms for being an office bearer. Ensuring that, he would be able to continue as the party chief for unlimited terms. Arvind Kejriwal was elected as AAP’s national convener for the second time in April 2016 for three years and his term would end in April, later this year.
These incidents clearly signifies that the man masquerades as the saviour of the middle class and is nothing but a hypocrite. It is unimaginable that a man who doesn’t care for his own children and uses them as political pawns is giving advice to others about how to raise their children. The AAP in its desperate attempt to make petty political gains has crossed all limits of decency.
