First it was prime minister Narendra Modi who said in Parliament that the migrant crisis which fuelled Covid-19 pandemic was an outcome of Arvind Kejriwal’s AAP-led Delhi government which urged people to go home.
“Delhi government used microphones, went to residential areas telling people to leave; till when will such politics continue,” the Prime Minister said.
Kejriwal wasn’t the one to miss out. He termed the prime minister’s statement “completely false.”
Now reacting to Kejriwal’s tweet, Yogi Adityanath repeated the prime minister’s allegation and said the Delhi Czm deliberately pushed the migrants out of the national capital.
In a tweet, the UP CM said, “Listen Kejriwal, you forced the workers of UP to leave Delhi when the entire humanity was groaning due to the pain of Corona. Your government did an undemocratic and inhuman act like leaving even small children and women helpless on the UP border in the middle of the night. Should we call you a traitor of humanity or…”
“Kejriwal has a knack of telling lies. When the whole country was battling a global pandemic like Corona under the leadership of the respected Prime Minister, Kejriwal showed the migrant laborers the way out of Delhi,” he said in a series of tweets.
Adityanath also accused the Delhi Chief Minister of “cutting electricity and water connection” of migrant workers and forcing them to leave the city.
“The electricity-water connection was cut and the sleeping people were picked up and sent to the UP border by buses. Announcement was made that buses are going for Anand Vihar, beyond that buses will be available for UP-Bihar. The UP government arranged buses for the migrant laborers and brought them back safely,” he said.
