Arvind Kejriwal is a true copy of communists, says Tripura Chief Minister

Tripura chief minister Biplab Deb on Monday commented that there is no difference between Arvind Kejriwal and the Communists. Deb said this in New Delhi during an election campaign.

New Delhi: Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb on Tuesday said that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is a true copy of communists and "he is against all forms of development."

Biplab Deb has come to New Delhi as one of the star campaigner for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the coming election.

Along with Biplab Deb, Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu too are other star campaigners for the party.

"This is for the first time when a home minister of a country is found doing door to door campaign and interacting with the people...People have confidence on Amit Shah and that is why we are getting very positive response from everywhere in this Assembly election in Delhi," said Deb.

Coming down heavily against Arvind Kejriwal, Deb said that he (Kejriwal) does not want development. "I don't have any personal enmity with anybody, but I believe Arvind Kejriwal is a true copy of communists...," said Deb.

Interestingly, BJP has roped in these three Chief Ministers to campaign for its candidates and woo more than 2.5 lakh of Northeastern voters living in Delhi.

With hardly few days left for the Assembly election on February 8, all the three Chief Ministers on Tuesday did several poll campaign across the national capital.

Apart from doing door to door campaign for the party candidates, the Chief Ministers also did interactive sessions with Northeastern voters living in Delhi.

"BJP will form a government this time in Delhi," said a confident Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal to ETV Bharat.

Echoing the same view, Union Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Kiren Rijiju also said that people in Delhi have lost faith from the Kejriwal government.

"People in Delhi have seen the government of Congress as well as Aam Admi Party...they now want a change and BJP is the only option," said Rijiju.

Rijiju who hails from Arunachal Pradesh in Northeast believes that people of Northeast who are living in Delhi would definitely vote for BJP.

The national capital frequently witnesses crime against Northeastern people. And most of the political parties have kept security as one of their major poll agenda.
