Kejriwal’s Vintage Video Taking on Modi Reemerges as BJP Regains Ground in Delhi

With the BJP poised to establish the next government in Delhi after a resounding win in the assembly elections, an old video featuring AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal challenging Prime Minister Narendra Modi has resurfaced and gone viral on social media.

This newly circulated clip highlights a notable shift as the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) experiences a substantial setback, and the BJP, under Modi’s leadership, regains power in Delhi after a 27-year absence.

The video, originally from 2023, captures Kejriwal addressing party activists following the arrests of senior AAP members linked to the Liquor Policy scandal. In his remarks, Kejriwal accused the BJP of plotting against the AAP, asserting that Modi and his party could not defeat them electorally. He audaciously declared, “Narendra Modi ji wants to form a government in Delhi this way; they know they can’t defeat us through elections. I want to tell Narendra Modi ji that you cannot defeat us in this life, and you will have to take another birth to defeat us in Delhi.”

In an unexpected turn of events, Kejriwal lost his seat in the New Delhi constituency to BJP candidate Parvesh Verma, the son of former Chief Minister Sahib Singh Verma, with a margin of 3,182 votes.

Although Kejriwal acknowledged the election results, congratulating the BJP on their victory, he also expressed his respect for the people’s decision. “The results of the Delhi elections have come in, and whatever decision the people have made, we humbly accept it. The people’s verdict is paramount. I wholeheartedly congratulate the Bharatiya Janata Party on this victory. I hope they fulfill all the expectations and aspirations the people have placed upon them,” Kejriwal stated in a video shared on X.

Alongside the 2023 video, another clip from the 2017 Delhi Assembly session is making the rounds. In this earlier footage, Kejriwal confidently asserted, “Hum Dilli ke maalik hai (we are Delhi’s masters). Ye log humare order ko manenge, hum Dilli chalanyenge (We’ll run Delhi; they will follow our orders).” This statement has gained renewed attention in light of AAP’s recent defeat, serving as a stark reminder of Kejriwal’s previous bold claims regarding his leadership in Delhi.
