Kejriwal's mental equilibrium is disturbed: Hardeep Puri fires back over "Operation Lotus" allegations

New Delhi [India], December 29 (ANI): Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Sunday accused Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal of losing his 'mental equilibrium' after Kejriwal alleged the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of running "Operation Lotus" in his constituency.
Speaking to ANI, Puri said, "I think when Arvind Kejriwal was in 'state hospitality', his 'mental equilibrium' got disturbed... What is the vision of Arvind Kejriwal - disruption?... Arvind Kejriwal is left with very little time (as govt in Delhi)."
Earlier today, former Delhi Chief Minister and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of running "Operation Lotus" in the New Delhi constituency since December 15 to delete voters from the voter list.
Addressing a press conference, Kejriwal said, "In my New Delhi assembly constituency - their (BJP) 'operation Lotus' has been going on since December 15. In these 15 days, they have applied for the deletion of 5,000 votes and the addition of 7,500 votes. Why there is a need to conduct elections if you are manipulating approximately 12 per cent of total voters in the assembly? A kind of 'game' is being going on in the name of election."
Puri accused Kejriwal and the AAP government in Delhi of helping Rohingyas settle in the national capital for votes.
"This is the (Arvind) Kejriwal and AAP, who were saying that we (BJP) have brought Rohingyas. Do you think that they (Rohingyas) will in any circumstance vote for the BJP? They (AAP ) have helped them settle here for the votes. It would be better for a democracy if their names are cut from the voter list," he said.
Puri criticized Kejriwal's 'Mahila Samman Yojana', claiming that his promises to Punjab's women during the elections are still unfulfilled.
"The promises that he made to women of Punjab during the elections are yet to be fulfilled and he comes up with another scheme of providing Rs 2100 to women in Delhi."
Puri further attacked Kejriwal saying "You can announce any scheme but you cannot let people fill out the form. If you are doing so, it means you are betraying the people. Arvind Kejriwal's lies are being exposed every day."
Puri expressed confidence in his party's victory in the upcoming Delhi assembly elections, which are expected to be held in early 2025, saying, "The electoral results of Delhi will be the same as those of Haryana and Maharashtra." (ANI)
