UP Assembly Elections 2022: Arvind Kejriwal slams BJP over bicycle remark

AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh while addressing the rally ahead of UP polls said, "Yesterday PM said whoever rides bicycle are terrorists. This is an insult to bicycle riders. When you vote, tell them it's BJP (people) who are terrorists, not the ones who ride bicycles."

Earlier, PM Modi in a rally launched an attack on SP and said “I remained silent for so many years because the hearing on the Ahmedabad blasts case was going on. Today, when the court has given them the punishment, I am raising the subject before the country.”

"In the initial blasts, the bombs were kept on cycles...I wonder why they [terrorists] opted cycles" he added.
