Union Home Minister Amit Shah while addressing a rally in Delhi on Wednesday called the current Chief Minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal, a liar.

Talking about current Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, “Political parties fight during elections on the basis of clean water, better employment, more schools, good hospitals, garbage issues and other developmental factors. There are various competitions. But have you seen Kejriwal on the first position in any of these competitions? He is not on the first position in any of the things. But he is number one in one department. That department is about lying.”

“Kejriwal will win the lying competition even in an international competition. He will secure the first position. I have never seen a lying CM like Kejriwal ever in my life. He had promised several things five years back. He hasn’t fulfilled one promise,” added Amit Shah.

“He had said that he will make 1000 schools in Delhi. Has he made even a single school in this colony? He had said that he will make 50 new colleges. When I told them that they have not installed a camera as promised they tweeted a picture of it. Does one camera’s picture confirm the installation of me 15,00,000 cameras? They promised many busses, but they did not deliver there as well. They haven’t delivered their promises properly” added the Home Minister.
