AAP, BJP warm up for battle with tweets

NEW DELHI: They are yet to finalize election strategies but Aam Aadmi Party and BJP are already in a war of tweets. On Wednesday, AAP convener and former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal questioned BJP's performance in the municipal corporations over the past seven years, while Delhi BJP president Satish Upadhyay challenged AAP to list "seven good deeds" from its 49 days in government.

"We are fighting elections on performance of our 49 day govt whereas BJP just abusing us. Can BJP explain what did they do in 7 yrs in MCD (sic)?" Kejriwal tweeted, following up with re-tweets about BJP's poor performance in the corporations. But BJP, which is planning a 'positive' campaign, had only one question for Kejriwal. "They should tell us 7 good deeds they have done in 49 days," Upadhyay wrote on Delhi BJP's Twitter handle #DelhineedBJP.

"Did they try to solve any of the problems faced by people in Delhi? They had promised 700 litres of free water, but people are not getting it. Before questioning BJP, they should tell people seven things they have done for Delhi. During their 49-day-long stint in government, why didn't they release money to the corporations for development work? Congress never gave us money for development work, nor did AAP," said Upadhyay.

With its government at the Centre, BJP is going to tom-tom the Modi government's achievements in the past four months and the special schemes announced by it for Delhi. But AAP, which is trying to consolidate its vote bank in the city and reclaim the middle class, which it lost to BJP in the Lok Sabha elections, is trying to shift the focus back to local issues.

"In his speech on Tuesday, Satish Upadhyay said they will fight the election on the development plank. We are more than ready for it, but we challenge BJP to talk about development it is directly responsible for in Delhi. Why discuss what the Centre is doing? BJP has been leading MCD for seven years. Other than massive corruption, the corporation has failed to do much else. Why doesn't BJP explain what development MCD has been responsible for?" said an AAP member.

Upadhyay said, "We have been giving pension to nearly two lakh poor people. We have simplified the licence policy, introduced online sanctioning of building plans, online booking of community centres, regularized 5,000-odd contractual employees in both the corporation and NDMC". About AAP, he said, "Kejriwal has lost his political relevance in Delhi and his party organization is in disarray. This election will be held between development-oriented BJP and anarchist and opportunist parties".
