Aam Aadmi Party supremo Arvind Kejriwal had been avoiding direct attacks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He had learned from his experience in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections that a direct attack on Modi is not beneficial as Hindutva voters get angry with it. So, even while attacking the BJP government, they did not target Modi. But now they have changed. Now they have again started attacking Modi directly and attacking such issues, which till now Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had been raising. Recently, Kejriwal attacked Modi on two very sensitive issues.
When Prime Minister Modi talked about ending the ‘Rewari culture’ in politics, Kejriwal got angry the most. Although the Prime Minister’s point was not only towards him, but he took it upon himself to make the issue of Modi vs Kejriwal and held a press conference. In it, Kejriwal said that waiving the loans of big industrialists is to distribute Revdi. Going ahead, he raised the issue of lobbying the Adani Group to get wind power projects in Sri Lanka and said that by pressurizing foreign governments to get contracts to their friends, it is to distribute revdi. This is a very serious allegation. Similarly, when Kejriwal did not get permission to go to Singapore, he reminded how the US had stopped Narendra Modi’s visa till a few days ago. It has become clear from both these things that they are once again creating trouble because the Lok Sabha elections are coming and they have to present their claim in it.
