CM Yogi Adityanath lamented that Delhi should have step its development model. He also accused the AAP of taking careless steps that would jeopardise the future of the youth.
Targeting Kejriwal, Yogi said, "This Delhi, which should have set new standards of development, is today yearning for basic amenities. They have played with the future of the youth here. They talk of development, but if you want to see basic amenities and infrastructure, look at Ghaziabad or Noida. Okhla industrial area is in Delhi, but no investment has been made there in the last 10 years... Instead of investing there, Kejriwal and Company have settled Bangladeshi infiltrators and Rohingyas..."
