Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga said that Kejriwal is on political tourism to the poll-bound states of Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh while the โpeople of Delhi are dyingโ
New Delhi: A poster comparing Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to Adolf Hitler was put up by BJP leader Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga outside the partyโs headquarters in the national capital on Saturday.
โKejriwal is the second ruler who converted his city into a gas chamber, Hitler was first,โ read the poster. This comes after Delhiโs air quality remained in the โsevereโ category for the third day in a row on Saturday.
Speaking to ANI, Bagga said that Kejriwal is on political tourism to the poll-bound states of Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh while the โpeople of Delhi are dyingโ.
โI have compared him to Hitler because this is the worldโs second example where a leader converted his own state into a gas chamber. I am not saying this, but Supreme Court has said that Delhi has converted into a gas chamber. The credit for it goes to Arvind Kejriwal who calls himself the owner of Delhi. Kejriwal has not been spotted in Delhi for the past 20 days, he is being seen in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh. The people of Delhi are dying because of pollution but Kejriwal is on political tourism,โ BJP leader Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga told ANI.

He also drew parallels between the two and said, โThere was only one example of a person who killed his own people inside a gas chamber, it was Hitler. Arvind Kejriwal is the second such person to do so.โ
Earlier, Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena slammed Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann over air pollution in the city and asked him to undertake โsubstantiveโ measures to control stubble burning alleging that it has converted the national capital โinto a gas chamberโ.
The Delhi LG wrote to Mann on Thursday and said that the existing situation is a โviolative of citizensโ fundamental right to health and the right to lifeโ.
โRequest you to undertake urgent and substantive measures to control Parali (stubble) burning in Punjab, which has converted the national capital once again into a gas chamber,โ Saxena wrote.
Earlier CM Kejriwal took responsibility for the stubble burning in Punjab.
โPollution is not just Delhiโs but entire Northern Indiaโs problem. The Centre has to come forward and take specific steps so that the entire North India can be relieved from pollution. Air pollution is a North India problem. AAP, the Delhi government or the Punjab government are not solely responsible. Now is not the time for the blame game. There should not be politics over such a sensitive issue. I admit there is stubble burning in Punjab,โ Kejriwal said.
