Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Northeast in-charge Rajesh Sharma on July 16 hit back at Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for mocking Delhi government amid flood-crisis in the national capital.
Delhi Flood
Rajesh Sharma’s tweet comes after Assam Chief Minister compared the flood situation of Delhi with Assam.
Himanta Biswa Sarma wrote, “Every year, we receive water from Bhutan, Arunachal, and even from China. We face floods with brave hearts. We experience pain and misery beyond human imagination, yet we do not blame others. Because we know that nature does not recognize geography.”
To which Rajesh Sharma reacted saying Assam don’t have opposition like BJP who are masters in politicising even natural calamities.
“You don’t have interference through Lieutenant Governor (LG). Your officers are answerable to you not like Delhi, where by a black ordinance BJP has given all powers to LG and officers not listening to Delhi ministers even during disaster like situation. And you don’t have a neighbour who deliberately releases uncontrolled water towards Assam like Delhi, instead of regulating it,” Sharma said.
Further, Sharma taunted Assam Chief Minister for his recent deleted tweet and back to back tweets mocking Delhi government.
In a deleted tweet, Assam Chief Minister wrote, “While in Guwahati, the Delhi Chief Minister Shri @ArvindKejriwal ji promised to invite me for lunch and take me on a tour to see ‘development work’ in Delhi. I have been waiting! However, after witnessing the current state of Delhi on national television, I feel much more comfortable in my own city, Guwahati. I dread watching his work.”
