Kejriwal vs Rahul Gandhi debate: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday escalated his attack on AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal and took a dig over his promise of turning Delhi into Paris.

“This is Kejriwal's 'shining' Delhi - Delhi like Paris,” Gandhi captioned the video.

“The situation is the same everywhere,” Rahul Gandhi said in the video.

“Today in Delhi, one can see filth and garbage everywhere. Many of you must have travelled abroad. Take as examples the capitals of other countries. For instance, Paris, London, Washington, Tokyo and those of other developed nations. Such beautiful cities they are. Can’t we make Delhi beautiful? Yes we can,” he had said.

"If we [the AAP-led government] can improve Delhi’s hospitals and schools and connect the whole city with CCTV cameras among other achievements, we can make Delhi free of filth and garbage too. But friends, the MCDs do not come under the Delhi government. If Delhi becomes a full state, we will make the city so clean that you will be proud of Delhi," Kejriwal, who was then serving as the Delhi chief minister, said.

Kejriwal vs Rahul Gandhi debate

On Monday, Rahul Gandhi attacked Kejriwal at a rally in Delhi's Seelampur.

“Arvind Kejriwal had talked of removing corruption. Has he removed corruption? Just like Modi ji's propaganda of making false promises, he is following the same strategy. Pollution, corruption and inflation are on the rise in Delhi,” he said.

Kejriwal hit back by saying,"His fight is to save Congress, my fight is to save the country."

TVoting in all 70 Assembly seats of Delhi will be held in a single phase on February 5. Results will be declared on February 8.

The AAP, in power since 2015, is eyeing a hat-trick and battling corruption allegations from its rivals, while the BJP is aiming to wrest power from the Kejriwal-led party after 27 years.
