Kejriwal attacks Modi for harping on Hindu, Muslim issue
Indore, July 15 : In this age of technology and 5G, Prime Minister Narendra Modi remains obsessed by subjects related to Hindu-Muslim divide, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Sunday.
"When the world is talking about technology and 5G, our Prime Minister is describing the Congress as a party of Muslims and the BJP as a party of Hindus," the Aam Aadmi Party leader told a public rally here.
"This proves that no development has taken place in the four years of Modi rule," he said. "Even the 3G doesn't work in our country well."
The rally venue lost electricity connection the moment Kejriwal reached there. This only made him attack the Madhya Pradesh government.
"If this place can lose power connection when another Chief Minister arrives here, I can only pity the people of this state."
Kejriwal declared Alok Agarwal, an activist who studied at IIT Kanpur, as the AAP's Chief Ministerial candidate in the upcoming Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections.
"Agrawal has studied at IIT. He could have gone to the US if he wanted to. But after completing his studies, he chose to serve the people of the state."
Agarwal contested the 2014 Lok Sabha polls from Khandwa in Madhya Pradesh.

Remarks against St Francis Xavier: Right-wing speaker Gautam Khattar gets bail
Panaji (PTI): A court in Goa on Saturday granted bail to right-wing speaker Gautam Khattar, who was arrested after he allegedly made derogatory comments against St Francis Xavier.
Judicial Magistrate First Class, Vasco, granted regular bail to Khattar, currently admitted to Goa Medical College and Hospital at Bambolim for treatment of chest pain after he was shifted from the District Hospital in Mapusa two days back.
A row erupted after a video of remarks by Khattar, the founder of Sanatan Mahasangh, at an event on April 18 in the presence of Swami Brahmeshanand, State Transport Minister Mauvin Godinho and BJP MLAs Sankulp Amonkar and Daji (Krishna) Salkar, went viral.
St Francis Xavier is revered as the patron saint of Goa.
The controversial remarks led to the Vasco Police registering an FIR against Khattar on charges of hurting religious sentiments and creating enmity between groups.
He was detained in Kullu, Himachal Pradesh, by local police. His custody was later handed over to the Goa Crime Branch, according to officials.
