'Trying to defame us': Mallikarjun Kharge targets Kejriwal, credits Sheila Dikshit for progress in Delhi | India News – The Times of India
NEW DELHI: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday upped the ante against Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal, accusing him of making false allegations against the grand-old-party to defame the leaders in different ways.
While addressing a rally in Delhi, Kharge said, “Arvind Kejriwal came to you in the guise of votes, abusing Congress, making false statements against the Congress party and trying to defame us in different ways.”
“He is the same person who earlier used to say that he is fighting against corruption, corruption has to be removed, Lokpal has to be brought and he lied to an old man like Anna Hazare in Delhi and took people’s votes,” he added.
Kharge further credited former Delhi CM Sheila Dixit and Sonia Gandhi for the capital’s progress.
“Whatever you have got for Delhi, for the progress of Delhi, all that has been done by the Congress party during the time of Sheila Dikshit,” Kharge said.
“If anyone has a hand in making Delhi so beautiful, it is Sonia Gandhi and Sheila Dikshit,” he added.
Delhi is set to go to the polls on February 5, with residents casting their votes for the upcoming assembly elections. The results will be counted on February 8.
