"Cruel Ruler": Arvind Kejriwal's Fiery Twitter Exchange With Yogi Adityanath
NDTV
"Kejriwal has a knack of telling lies," Yogi Adityanath tweeted.
Arvind Kejriwal's rebuttal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's claim on migrants sparked off a furious Twitter exchange between him and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday evening, which led the Delhi Chief Minister to call his UP counterpart a "harsh and cruel ruler". Yogi Adityanath had called him a liar, alleging that he deliberately pushed the migrants out of Delhi. PM Modi gave an absolutely FALSE statement on #MigrantCrisis during the ill-planned lockdown.Country expected him to be sensitive to people's suffering but he's busy doing dirty politics.SHAMELESS POLITICS BY THE PRIME MINISTER! pic.twitter.com/Dlx43RmTrX सुनो केजरीवाल,जब पूरी मानवता कोरोना की पीड़ा से कराह रही थी, उस समय आपने यूपी के कामगारों को दिल्ली छोड़ने पर विवश किया।छोटे बच्चों व महिलाओं तक को आधी रात में यूपी की सीमा पर असहाय छोड़ने जैसा अलोकतांत्रिक व अमानवीय कार्य आपकी सरकार ने किया।आपको मानवताद्रोही कहें या... सुनो योगी,आप तो रहने ही दो। जिस तरह UP के लोगों की लाशें नदी में बह रहीं थीं और आप करोड़ों रुपए खर्च करके Times मैगज़ीन में अपनी झूठी वाह वाही के विज्ञापन दे रहे थे। आप जैसा निर्दयी और क्रूर शासक मैंने नहीं देखा। https://t.co/qxcs2w60lG
Mr Kejriwal had said PM Modi's statement in parliament that Delhi and Maharashtra contributed to the spread of Covid by enabling the migrant labourers to go home after lockdown was declared in 2020, was a "blatant lie".
"This statement of Prime Minister is a blatant lie. The country hopes that the Prime Minister will be sensitive to those who have suffered the pain of the Corona period, those who have lost their loved ones. It does not suit the Prime Minister to do politics on the sufferings of the people," he said in a tweet in Hindi.
His party also tweeted to say the Prime Minister's statement was "false".
