Categories: Election 2022
Breaking his silence on the 'Khalistani' allegations levelled against him, Delhi CM and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal on Friday, questioned why no one had arrested him till date if it was true. Dismissing both Congress and BJP's 'terror' allegations on him, he pointed out that Rahul Gandhi first raised the issue, followed by PM Modi and then Priyanka Gandhi - accusing all parties of conspiring against AAP. Ex-AAP leader and poet Kumar Vishwas has accused Kejriwal of supporting separatism and wishing to be 'PM of independent Punjab'. The border state goes to polls on February 20 and results will be announced on March 10. "Rahul gandhi was the first to put that allegations, next day PM Modi voiced the same allegations. Then Priyanka Gandhi talks about it. No one takes Rahul Gandhi seriously. But look at it, who thought PM Modi will become Rahul Gandhi one day? My offices and home have been raides - they got nothing. They should be grateful to that poet who has 'caught' such a big terrorist," he asked. On Wednesday, poet Kumar Vishwas - one of AAP's founding members - alleged that he he had tried to convince Kejriwal against taking the help of fringe elements, separatists, and people associated with the Khalistan movement in the 2017 Punjab election, but to no avail. Vishwas alleged that Kejriwal had told him that he will be either CM (of Punjab) or the first PM of an independent nation (Khalistan). This accusation was raised by both PM Modi and Rahul Gandhi in their poll rallies, warning voters against voting for Kejriwal. AAP refuted Vishwas' allegations, questioning the timing of it. In response, Vishwas threatened to 'expose' more secrets.
