Kejriwal distributing freebies to Rohingyas, ready to compromise on national security, alleges BJP

The BJP on August 18 stepped up its attack on the AAP Government in Delhi over the issue of Rohingya Muslims and alleged Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was distributing "revdi" to the illegal immigrants and was ready to compromise on national security for vote bank politics.

Speaking to reporters, BJP leader and Union minister Anurag Thakur said that for political benefits, "CM Kejriwal is giving free water, electricity, ration to Rohingyas. And the Delhi Government is now planning to give them flats. Now they are distributing 'revdi' [freebies] to them."

The BJP and the AAP have been engaged in a war of words on the issue of shifting Rohingya Muslims to flats for the economically weaker section (EWS) in the Bakkarwala area in Delhi.
