Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday attacked Opposition INDIA Bloc partners Congress and AAP, alleging that they are responsible for the crisis of credibility in Indian politics, while addressing an election meeting in favour of BJP candidate Kamaljeet Sehrawat for West Delhi Lok Sabha seat.

Hours before campaigning for the May 25 round of polling ended, the senior BJP leader targeted INDIA alliance partners Congress and AAP, he said, “The leaders of the Congress and the AAP have contributed the most to the crisis of credibility in the politics of India.”

In the roadshow, the procession of vehicles was nearly two kilometres long, and there was a visible enthusiasm in the people, including those walking, on scooters, tractors, and e-rickshaws.

Taking a swipe at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for continuing on the post despite being arrested and jailed, Singh said, “I have heard about work from office and work from home. The chief minister here has done the miracle of work from jail.”

Citing the alleged assault on AAP Rajya Sabha member Swati Maliwal, Singh said it was a “heart rending” incident but Kejriwal after maintaining silence for long is now saying that police are probing the matter. “A person in whose presence a woman was beaten up in his house says a probe is going on. Such people are cowards. A brave person is one who accepts that a mistake has been committed and is prepared to face the consequences,” Singh said.

Further, he said parties like the AAP should be wiped out from the country’s politics since they have no moral right to remain in politics.
