Delhi BJP’s new slogan, “Ab Nahi Senge, Badal Ke Rahenge,” has stirred up political tensions, drawing a sharp response from Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal, followed by a quick rebuttal from BJP’s Delhi President Virendra Sachdeva.
Arvind Kejriwal, the former Chief Minister of Delhi, criticised the slogan, saying that the BJP wants to terminate his government’s popular welfare schemes, including free electricity and water services. Kejriwal argued that the BJP’s call for change threatens the continuation of these schemes, which have been pivotal in the AAP administration’s public support.
In a swift response, Virendra Sachdeva dismissed Kejriwal’s fears as unfounded and accused him of spreading false information. According to Sachdeva, the slogan has rapidly gained traction among Delhi’s populace, unsettling Kejriwal and prompting him to make baseless claims. He clarified that the BJP has no plans to discontinue existing welfare schemes.
Sachdeva emphasised that the popularity of the slogan reflects widespread dissatisfaction with the current AAP government’s leadership. He accused Kejriwal and his associates, including Manish Sisodia and Satyendra Jain, of being mired in corruption.
In an official statement, the BJP highlighted that the slogan has resonated with the youth and women in Delhi, who now seem determined to replace what they called an ineffective and corrupt administration.
While assuring the continuation of welfare schemes, Sachdeva hinted at imminent legal actions against corruption in the current government.
