(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Prime Minister Narendra Modi was resorting to personal attacks as the BJP had no positive agenda for the upcoming Delhi assembly polls, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal said after being described as an "anarchist" by Modi.
"The prime minister called me an anarchist, I have never indulged in such personal attacks. It seems that BJP is nervous and have no positive agenda for Delhi polls," Kejriwal said here at a press conference soon after Modi's rally where he targeted Kejriwal for his "anarchist" remarks and asked voters to punish the AAP in the assembly elections.
The former chief minister said that Modi spoke negatively of the Congress rule in Delhi and not of the 49 days of the AAP government.
"This means we did a good job. We ended corruption in Delhi in 49 days. What has BJP done at the centre?" he asked.
He said that Modi's party had forgotten all its promises made in run up to the Lok Sabha elections.
"BJP can neither agitate nor govern. BJP has forgotten all promises made during general elections. It has made so many U turns," he added.
Kejriwal said it was AAP government in Delhi which slashed electricity rates and provided free water to people "We know governance and we also know how to stage a dharna," hs asserted.
AAP leader Yogendra Yadav said: It seems the prime minister is scared of our popularity. He (Modi) could not control himself."
Addressing a BJP rally at Ramlila Maidan here in the run-up to the assembly polls, Modi, without taking any name, said: "Have you seen leaders who say yes I am an anarchist? If you want that please go with Maoists and do not do this in Delhi".
Meanwhile, Congress leader Anand Sharma also slammed the BJP government at the centre, saying it was a government of the corporates. "Modi and his government is working for the corporates, not for the common man," Sharma said.
