Moments later, the Delhi BJP chief joked on the incident and said that the Delhi Chief Minister's name is not significant enough to be remembered.
Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari on Wednesday had an expedient moment when he took a while to recall Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's name at the 'India Ka DNA' Delhi Election Conclave, organised in the national capital by India's largest news network, Zee News.
While talking about the ruling Aam Aadmi Party's alleged hypocrisy in the national capital, Tiwari had to refer to the Chief Minister by saying "Kya naam hai mukhyamantri ka (What is the Chief Minister's name again)?" before taking a while and recalling "Haan (Yes), Arvind Kejriwal."
Moments later, the Delhi BJP chief joked on the incident and said that the Delhi Chief Minister's name is not significant enough to be remembered.
He further lambasted the ruling party in Delhi and said that the Kejriwal-led AAP government has yet to fulfill promises made in 2015, including the Lokpal Bill. "The Chief Minister of Delhi has fooled the national capital with his freebies, he has always made false promises," said Tiwari.
The conclave is set to focus on the Delhi Legislative Assembly Election 2020.
At the #IndiaKaDNA Delhi Election Conclave, viewers will witness several top politicos from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress, and the Aam Aadmi Party. The leaders will be participating as speakers at the event, debating and expressing their views on the upcoming Delhi Assembly Polls and talk about the vision of their respective parties for the national capital.
The event began at 10 AM and will conclude at 4 PM.
With the Delhi Assembly Polls 2020 knocking at the door, anticipation broils up among people in the national capital, their eyes on prospective Chief Ministerial candidates of the political parties locked in the electoral contest.
This year, the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will be locked in a triangular contest with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress (INC), but the AAP is being considered the favourite to retain the Union Territory.
The Kejriwal-led AAP government is currently in power. The five-year term of the 70-member Delhi Assembly will end on February 22 and a new House is to be constituted before that.
The Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP is eyeing a second consecutive term banking on freebies that it provided to Delhiites including free water, free electricity up to 200 units, free ride for women in DTC and cluster buses, among other measures.
Delhi Assembly elections will be held on February 8 while counting of votes will be conducted on February 11.
