Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s jibe on freebies, whom the latter dubbed as ‘revari politics’.
“I have been accused of distributing revaris (sweets), freebies. I am being abused. I want to ask the people of India, where am I wrong?” the Delhi chief minister remarked during his briefing.
“I am providing free quality education to the poor children of Delhi. Am I distributing revaris? Before we came to power, the plight of Delhi government schools was miserable. The future of 18 lakh children was in the dark due to poor infrastructure. Is it a crime to provide good education to these children free of cost?” Kejriwal asked.
Without naming anyone, the Delhi chief minister said, “Those who are abusing me have purchased a private jet for themselves by spending thousands of crore rupees. Kejriwal doesn’t buy jets for himself, but saves the money and makes travel free of cost for women in Delhi.”
