New Delhi [India], February 11 (HBTV): Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday criticized Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal, accusing him of failing to develop Delhi and blaming others for his shortcomings.

Saini said that the people of Delhi delivered a historic verdict in the Assembly election by bringing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to power in the national capital after 27 years.

'After 27 years, the people of Delhi have given us a historic victory under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. For the last ten years, there was a government that always made false promises,' Saini told reporters.

He alleged that Kejriwal failed to fulfill his promises, including cleaning the Yamuna River.

'They never let people take advantage of the schemes being run by Prime Minister Modi... They always lied. He (Arvind Kejriwal) said he would provide clean water and clean the Yamuna,' he said.

'He never did anything and instead always blamed others... Last time he said that if I don't clean the Yamuna by 2025, I will not ask for votes. When he could not do that, he blamed Haryana, claiming that we had mixed poison. People have understood this, and we thank the people of Delhi for forming our government,' he added.

Earlier in the day, Saini was seen preparing and sharing jalebi with party leaders to celebrate the BJP's victory in the national capital.

Meanwhile, BJP candidate Parvesh Verma, after making history by defeating Kejriwal from the New Delhi seat, visited his native village, Mundka, on Sunday morning.

Verma received a rousing welcome upon his arrival. He also visited the Dada Bhairav Temple in Mundka and offered prayers.
