NEW DELHI: Days after Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma threatened his Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal with a defamation case, the AAP chief reached Guwahati on Sunday and invited the BJP leader for tea and lunch at his residence in the national capital.
Kejriwal also said such threats by Sarma are unbecoming of a chief minister.
Sarma had on Friday threatened to file a defamation case against Kejriwal if the Aam Aadmi Party leader alleged corruption cases against him outside the assembly.
”Is there any FIR or case against me anywhere in the country? I wanted to sue him but like a coward, he spoke inside the assembly,” the Assam CM said.
”Let Kejriwal come here on April 2 and say that I am corrupt. The next day, I will file a defamation case against him as I have done against (AAP leader) Manish Sisodia,” Sarma had said.
Kejriwal had reportedly said in the Delhi Assembly that there are cases against Sarma.
“People of Assam are very good. They welcome their guests. Himanta Biswa Sarma should learn from them,” the Delhi CM said immediately after landing at the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport here, reacting to Sarma’s remarks.
AAP promises free electricity, more jobs
Addressing a Sankalp Sabha, Kejriwal on Sunday promised free electricity and jobs for all youths in Assam if his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is voted to power in the Northeastern state.
He also claimed the AAP government changed the face of Delhi in seven years, and that “nothing but dirty politics” took place in Assam, even though BJP has been in power in the state for the same duration.
“AAP came to power in Delhi in 2015 and the BJP here in 2016. Today, we have changed the face of Delhi. What has Himanta babu (Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma) done for the state in seven years? Nothing, only dirty politics,” Kejriwal alleged.
AAP governments in Delhi and Punjab are giving free electricity to their states, and it will be the same in Assam, too, if the party forms government, Kejriwal said at a rally here.
He promised jobs for all unemployed youths of Assam if AAP is voted to power, adding that the party has given employment to 12 lakh people in Delhi in seven years, and 28,000 people in one year in Punjab.
Kejriwal also assured of providing piped water to all households of Guwahati within a year of the AAP government in the state.
Kejriwal also said such threats by Sarma are unbecoming of a chief minister.
