PM Modi likens AAP to ‘aapda’ for Delhi, calls for its defeat in polls

The Prime Minister criticises AAP government in Delhi, vows to remove “aapda (disaster)“and bring BJP for people’s welfare; Kejriwal flags Delhi’s law and order situation, which is under Centre’s purview

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday (January 3, 2025) attacked the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) saying that over the last 10 years, an “aap”da (disaster) had befallen Delhi. People of Delhi had made up their minds to vote for the BJP in the Delhi Assembly election scheduled next month so that this “aap”da could be removed, Mr. Modi said.

The remark drew a sharp reaction from AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal who said that the only disaster that had befallen Delhi was the law and order situation, which came under the purview of the Central government.
