Politicizing boarder conflict won't work for BJP in Delhi: Arvind Kejriwal

Kejriwal said people were now largely divided between "Modi-bhakts" and those who don't back Prime Minister Narendra Modi and that the Aam Aadmi Party "will do whatever is in its power to defeat Modi".

New Delhi: The Delhi Chief Minister and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, on Tuesday, said the people of Delhi now understand BJP's political tricks and politicizing Pulwama and boarder conflict won't serve any purpose to Modi-led BJP government in the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections in Delhi.

"Whatever happened after the Pulwama attack on India-Pakistan border and the way BJP's conduct was, which politicized it, it is causing damage to the BJP. There's a notion that it is helping it but it is not, at least not in Delhi," he told reporters here.

Kejriwal said people were now largely divided between "Modi-bhakts" and those who don't back Prime Minister Narendra Modi and that the Aam Aadmi Party "will do whatever is in its power to defeat Modi".

Kejriwal also said that many people had told him that they were apprehensive of a Pulwama-like attack just before the Lok Sabha polls.

"I am only saying what people told us... They told us that they were apprehensive for the last two years that they (BJP) will either foment a conflict over Ram Mandir or between India and Pakistan," he said.

On February 14, a suicide bomber rammed a SUV loaded with 350 RDX (a chemical explosive) at a CRPF convoy, killing 40 troopers in Pulwama in the Kashmir Valley, leading the Indian Air Force to bomb the biggest training camp of the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) in Pakistan.
