PM Modi criticizes AAP leaders, likens them to Charles Sobhraj, urges voters to reject AAP in upcoming Delhi elections.
Slamming AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal over his remarks that "poison" is being mixed in the Yamuna, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday (January 29, 2025) said that fearing their defeat in the Delhi polls, "AAP-da people" have turned desperate.
Addressing a public meeting in Kartar Nagar in the run-up to the February 5 Assembly polls, he also likened AAP leaders to serial killer Charles Sobhraj, who gained notoriety for duping people.

"Those who built 'sheesh mahal' and those who looted public money worth thousands of crores of rupees can never think of the welfare of the poor. That is why they are spreading lies in Delhi. These AAP-da people speak lies with such innocence that people get trapped," Mr. Modi said.
"You may have heard of Charles Sobhraj, he was a known thug. He was such an expert at duping people with innocence that every time people would get duped by him. That is why one has to remain cautious of such people," he said.
Delhi has made it clear that now excuses, fake promises as well as "loot and lies" of the "AAP-da" government will not work, PM Modi said as he made a fervent appeal to voters to give him a chance to serve after 25 years of Congress and AAP governments.
Further hitting out at the AAP, Modi said that during the last two elections, the party asked for votes on the promise of cleaning the Yamuna and now it says that the issue does not yield votes.
