Ahead of the upcoming Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) polls on December 4, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday held a road show in Ghonda area in the national capital and said that the people’s excitement makes it clear what the result of the election will be.
The Assam Chief Minister also took a swipe at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and said that he is best in theatrics. “People’s excitement makes it clear what the result of the election will be. Kejriwal is best in theatrics. He thinks that Hindus are enemies, but can India exist without Hindus? He should apologize for the riots in Delhi during the CAA (implementation). BJP will win this election,” Sarma said during the road show.
