AAP shifts focus to Narendra Modi, to level allegations of corruption against him

NEW DELHI: Delhi Chief Minister and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal is expected to hold a press meet on Tuesday morning to level allegations of corruption against BJP’s PM candidate Narendra Modi and his alleged links with a couple of corporate houses. A senior AAP leader told ET that the revelations will be of the scale of a ‘political earthquake’.

The Delhi government officials, ET spoke to, while confirming that the CM will make big revelations on Tuesday, did not mention the topic of the press conference. They indicated that it could even lead to the fall of the fledgling AAP government.

Meanwhile, AAP leader Yogendra Yadav began tweeting at 9.45 pm on Modi, BJP’s political funding and certain industrial houses. The series of tweets termed, “WillNaMoAnswer” are questions on Modi’s alleged links, starting off with Adani “Q1: What is the exact relationship between Modi and Adani group? How has Adani become super rich in just 10 years?”

The second question is on gas pricing involving the RIL: “Why are the BJP and Modi silent on gas pricing scam by Congress? Why does the media not ask them questions about it?” The third question is on Modi’s funding: “Where does money for NaMo campaign come from? Shouldn’t the BJP be transparent...?”

The fourth was on Gujarat’s economic indicators: “What is the record of Modi govt on farmers’ suicide, infant mortality, quality of schooling? A model for the country?” The fifth one was related to ‘criminalisation’ of politics: “Why does Babulal Bokharia continue in Modi’s cabinet despite being convicted? Can we trust NaMo to end criminalisation?”
