Kejriwal dares BJP to hold MCD polls in time

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday dared the BJP to conduct the municipal polls on time, saying it would otherwise amount to 'muzzling people's voices'. He criticised the BJP over the "postponement" of municipal elections, saying that AAP will quit politics if BJP gets these polls conducted timely and wins them. Kejriwal told reporters outside the Delhi Assembly. He further questioned if elections can be postponed citing the merging of the three municipal corporations of Delhi. "Tomorrow if the BJP senses that the party can lose Gujarat, will they merge Gujarat and Maharashtra to avert polls? Can Lok Sabha elections be postponed by making such an excuse?" he asked. 

"मैं BJP को चुनौती देता हूँ!

MCD के चुनाव समय पर कराओ और जीतकर दिखाओ। अगर हम हार गये तो राजनीति छोड़ देंगे।"
