‘Biggest poll issue is to get rid of liars and betrayers’: Shah
Union home minister Shah hit out at Arvind Kejriwal, calling him a “liar”.
“Arvind Kejriwal is running a government in Delhi which does not fulfil its promises and then again he comes forward with a heap of lies and an innocent face. In my political career, I have never seen such a liar. I have no problem with using such harsh words because I am convinced,” the home minister said.
“People of Delhi ask me, are operations and x-rays being conducted in Mohalla clinics? Are specialist doctors available at Mohalla clinics? You (Arvind Kejriwal) said you would double the number of beds in hospitals. What happened to that promise? In mohalla clinics also, they are doing fake tests and doing some sort of scams,” he added.
