'BJP, LJP, Cong, RJD, JD(U) vs road, school, water, power,' says Kejriwal; Tiwari replies

As a heated campaign on Delhi elections has begun, the main parties - Congress, BJP and AAP have resorted to a Twitter war. On Tuesday, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that his fight is against corruption, but all other parties -BJP, JDU, LJP, JJP, Congress and RJD are focussed to defeat him. He added that the people of Delhi are aware of AAP's goal, highlighting that it has always worked towards the prosperity of the capital forward. 

In response to what Kejriwal presented as his achievements and ambition, BJP's Manoj Tiwari has taken a jibe on Kejriwal's 70 promises in his 2015 manifesto. He has said that Kejriwal's government has not built a single school or roads. Reiterating BJP's slogan: "Sabka saath Sabka Vikas", Tiwari said that AAP has failed.
