Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convenor and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has stirred fresh political debate by asserting that he deserves a Nobel Prize for governance and administration, citing the work done during his tenure despite continuous opposition from the BJP-led Centre.
Speaking at a public event in Mohali, Punjab, Kejriwal remarked, “We worked despite not being allowed to work for as long as our government was in power in Delhi. I feel I should get a Nobel Prize for governance and administration for the amount of work we did under such constraints.” He accused the BJP of consistently undermining AAP’s efforts in Delhi, particularly through the office of the Lieutenant Governor and the municipal corporation.
Reiterating earlier claims, Kejriwal said that BJP-led authorities intentionally sabotaged AAP initiatives like the Mohalla Clinics. “They sent bulldozers to demolish five government-run Mohalla Clinics. What did they gain?” he asked. He also alleged that the condition in Delhi has worsened over the last four months since the party’s administrative powers were curtailed and the BJP assumed control in the Capital.
