Addressing an election rally in Delhi's Rajouri Garden, Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a scathing attack on Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi. Highlighting 'misgovernance' and 'corruption' in the national capital, Shah attacked former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal as he accused him of pursuing appeasement politics in Delhi.
Referring to the Delhi government as AAPda, the Home Minister said, "AAPda has thrown the whole of Delhi into disarray. The AAPda government has only broken promises and cheated the people of Delhi."

He added that the government in Delhi has "turned the roads of Delhi into lakes in the rainy season," saying Kejriwal has "abolished the word good governance."
Shah also attacked the 'AAPda' government over its promise to close liquor shops in the national capital, as he asked, "Have they (liquor shops) been closed?"
