Amit Shah criticizes AAP, promises development in Delhi, and highlights BJP achievements in public meeting.
BJP leader Amit Shah on Monday (February 3, 2025) said States with a double-engine BJP government have progressed in the last 10 years, but Delhi has been left behind because the Aam Aadmi Party kept making excuses and fighting with the Centre.
Speaking at a public meeting in Jangpura, Mr. Shah called AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia "bade miyan and chote miyan" and accused them of "looting" Delhi.
"States having a double-engine BJP government have progressed in the last 10 years. Delhi has been left behind, they keep making excuses and fighting with the Centre like a cry baby (babua sa munh banakar)," the Union Home Minister said.

Firing a fresh salvo at Mr. Sisodia, who is contesting from the Jangpura Assembly seat against BJP's Tarvinder Singh Marwah, Mr. Shah said he is the only education minister in the country who went to jail in connection with a liquor scam.
He alleged that Mr. Kejriwal lied to the people of Delhi and gave them only garbage, toxic water, and corruption.
"'Bade miyan and chote miyan' looted Delhi after making false promises. They are both going to lose the elections," he said.
