The battle between Kejriwal vs truth: Gambhir

Taking a jibe at AAP supremo Kejriwal, Gambhir added  "The AAP asks us that the battle is Kejriwal vs whom. We say it is Kejriwal vs truth this time". Gambhir also lashed out at Kejriwal accusing him of wasting his five-year tenure in photoshoots and putting up posters.

"Kejriwal spent 4.5 years in photoshoots, five months in putting up posters and one month in telling about it. The AAP government did not open a single hospital, school or a university and they call us liars. If we work efficiently, then Kejriwal will definitely be removed from the Chief Minister's post," he added.

Citing major decisions, from scrapping of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir to Citizenship Amendment Act, which were taken by his government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi  said

"Article 370 was abrogated after 70 years. Ram Janambhoomi verdict came after 70 years. Kartarpur Sahib corridor was made after 70 years. India-Bangladesh border issue solved after 70 years. The CAA came after 70 years. The War Memorial and the Police Memorial made after 50-60 years,".
