Patna (Bihar) [India], January 10 (ANI): Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav responding over the alleged "fake voters" remark by AAP convener Arvind kejriwal mentioning people from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, and said that it's a matter of updating voter list following elections but BJP people are trying to politicise the issue.
"It is a matter of removing or adding names to the voter list during elections. Even in Maharashtra, lakhs of votes were collected later, it is a case of adding or subtracting, they are trying to make it an issue ...," said Yadav while speaking to reporters on Friday.
Further when Tejashwi Yadav was asked about his recent statement that "INDI alliance was only for Lok Sabha elections", he clarified and said that the statement was made in the context of Delhi assembly polls while Bihar already had grand alliance from the beginning.
"We were asked the question in the context of Delhi... We fought the Lok Sabha elections in the INDIA alliance, AAP fought separately in Punjab, and Left parties fought separately in Kerala, at the national level we have the INDIA alliance and as far as Bihar is concerned, here we have the INDIA alliance, there is a grand alliance from the beginning ...," said Yadav.
Meanwhile, BJP leader Ajay Alok also criticised Kejriwal for his statement, questioning how he could make such a statement.
Alok referenced the COVID-19 pandemic, alleging that Kejriwal abandoned people from UP and Bihar "like cattle" and is now hypocritically accusing them of being two-faced.
"He is calling people of Bihar and UP as double-faced. How dare he? During COVID time in 2020, he threw out people of UP and Bihar like cattle and now he is calling them two-faced? I challenge him to go among Purvanchalis now. He will face the brunt of what he has said... He has done nothing for the people of UP and Bihar. We have seen how he just left them to fend for themselves outside bus terminals and railway stations during COVID-19. He has settled Bangladeshis and Rohingyas in Delhi. How many have been deported so far?..," Ajay Alok said. (ANI)
