Insulting Purvanchalis, Identity of AAP?
The BJP national Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla too hit out at Arvind Kejriwal and the AAP. Speaking to ANI he said, “Insulting the people of Purvanchal has become the identity of AAP and Arvind Kejriwal. Arvind Kejriwal who makes voter IDs for Rohingyas, fails to recognise the people of Purvanchal. His statement yesterday that the people of UP and Bihar are fake and come to Delhi to cast their fake votes, has hurt the sentiments of the people of Purvanchal.”
Continuing further he added that such remarks are “not just a coincidence”, but are part of a “well thought experiment”. He said, “Awadh Ojha said that the people of UP and Bihar are lazy. Even Arvind Kejriwal said that people of Purvanchal pay Rs 500 and get treatments worth Rs 5 lakhs and that they are a burden on Delhi’s healthcare… Their alliance partner DMK calls people of Purvanchal as toilet cleaners..”

‘Disaster of Corruption..’
The BJP National President JP Nadda, also hit out at the AAP chief for his ‘Fake voters’ remark. In a post on X, he accused the AAP for creating a ‘disaster of corruption’ in Delhi in last 10 years.
He tweeted, “Arvind Kejriwal, who has been looting Delhi for the last 10 years by creating a disaster of corruption, started fearing defeat and he got agitated and started making baseless statements against our brothers and sisters of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Kejriwal has insulted our people from UP and Bihar by calling them fake voters. The people of Delhi will definitely give him a reply by uprooting him from power.”
