Delhi MCD Election 2017: AAP is 'BAAP 'of Congress, says Naidu

As BJP launched the 14-day 'Vijay Ratha Yatra' to reach out to people before MCD elections in Delhi, Venkaiah Naidu terms AAP as the 'BAAP' of Congress.

New Delhi, Apr 6: Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu on Thursday said the Congress and the AAP are like two the sides of the same coin with leaders of both the parties allegedly facing serious charges.

"People are saying that AAP is 'BAAP' of Congress. Many of the ministers and MLAs in the ruling party of Delhi are facing serious charges ranging from corruption to indecent behaviour," he said while addressing public meeting in New Delhi to mark the kick-start of campaign of Delhi's civic polls.

Naidu claimed within a short period of time, the AAP leaders are proving that they are 'no better than Congress' and added 'Congress and AAP are like head and tail of the same coin'.

He said the country is moving forward under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi with the mantras of 'Reform - Perform - Transform'.

He claimed that a lot of transformation has taken place in the last three years and attributed it to BJP's winning in the recent assembly elections. Naidu accused AAP and Congress of playing negative politics and indulging in blame game and disinformation campaign.

"I appeal to give BJP a chance so as to strengthen the hands of Modiji in making Delhi a better place," he said.

Naidu flagged off 'Vijay Ratha Yatra' which was also attended by Delhi BJP President Manoj Tiwari and other senior party leaders. The yatra is slated for 14 days.
