Kejriwal had on Monday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his ‘kadak chai’ remark saying the poor was being “fed poison” instead.
Kejriwal said, considering the hardship being faced by people, the Delhi government has decided to deploy civil defence volunteers who will provide citizens queueing up outside banks and ATMs with water and refreshments, while also assisting them with paper work.
Sticking to his demand that demonetisation be rolled back, the AAP chief lashed out at Modi, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, saying the Centre has lost “all sense of proportion due to lack of any concrete plan in executing the scheme.”
“The situation is just the opposite of what the Prime Minister said. The poor are not sleeping. They are spending nights outside banks. Only Modiji’s friends are having good sleep. He has made the poor drink poison in the name of strong tea ‘kadak chai’,” Kejriwal said.
