Varanasi: Aam Aadmi Party convener Arvind Kejriwal hit out at the PM candidate of Bharatiya Janata Party Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday for their “helicopter democracy” and projects himself as “honest” alternative in front of voters of Varanasi.
Arvind Kejriwal on his way to file his nomination papers for the Lok Sabha polls from Varanasi, highlighted the “massive” spending in the advertisement campaigns for Modi and Rahul Gandhi and asked people to decide what kind of democracy they want.
During his road show, Kejriwal said, “Somebody was saying that Modi is spending Rs 5000 crore in advertisements. Gandhi is also spending a lot of money. You watch TV, read newspapers, see billboards, they are there and everywhere. If he is elected to power, he will make at least Rs 5 lakh crore. I am a fakir. I have no money. I will run a campaign on your money. You decide what do you want.”
Kejriwal also accused Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi of cheating the people of Amethi and said that they kept electing the “family” member in hope their constituency will be developed. He said, “Nothing happened and they feel cheated. They (people) don’t get to see him. They see only his helicopter flying in the sky. I hope it does not happen in Varanasi that you are pointed to a flying chopper and told that your leader (Modi) is there. You decide if you want helicopter democracy or somebody who goes to villages and mohallas.”
