Do not vote for liars like BJP, Congress in LS polls: Kejriwal

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday urged people not to vote for "liars" like the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress, saying they made "false promises" on granting full statehood for the national capital. Underlining how West Bengal votes for TMC chief Mamta Banerjee and Tamil Nadu votes AIADMK, Kejriwal said similarly the people of Delhi should also vote for the Aam Aadmi Party.

"First step to support the full statehood in Delhi is by voting for us in the upcoming elections. We will fight for full statehood and get it within two years," he said at a public rally in Malviya Nagar. "I have planned it all on how to give employment, good education and houses to the people of Delhi. I am an educated man having a real degree not a fake one," the Chief Minister said amid cheers from the public.

"Do not vote for liars like the BJP and the Congress who made false promises on granting full statehood to the national capital," he said. Kejriwal said people voted for Prime Minister Narendra Modi five years ago, following which he said he became a "56-inch chest" man", and four years back when people voted for the AAP "we worked for them and made every person's chest in Delhi 59 inches".
