Adityanath, Kejriwal trade barbs on Twitter over Covid-19 management

The comments came after Kejriwal called Modi's claims in Lok Sabha over AAP's Covid-19 management 'lies'

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his comments in Lok Sabha on Aam Aadmi party’s Covid-19 management in the capital. This invited ire from UP CM Yogi Adityanath and led to a twitter spat between the two chief ministers.

प्रधानमंत्री जी का ये बयान सरासर झूठ है। देश उम्मीद करता है कि जिन लोगों ने कोरोना काल की पीड़ा को सहा, जिन लोगों ने अपनों को खोया, प्रधानमंत्री जी उनके प्रति संवेदनशील होंगे। लोगों की पीड़ा पर राजनीति करना प्रधानमंत्री जी को शोभा नहीं देता। pic.twitter.com/Dd4NsRNGCY

Yogi Adityanath tweeted, "Listen Kejriwal, you forced the workers of UP to leave Delhi when the entire humanity was groaning due to the pain of corona. Your government did an undemocratic and inhuman act like leaving even small children and women helpless on the UP border in the middle of the night. Should we call you a traitor of humanity or..."

सुनो योगी,

आप तो रहने ही दो। जिस तरह UP के लोगों की लाशें नदी में बह रहीं थीं और आप करोड़ों रुपए खर्च करके Times मैगज़ीन में अपनी झूठी वाह वाही के विज्ञापन दे रहे थे। आप जैसा निर्दयी और क्रूर शासक मैंने नहीं देखा। https://t.co/qxcs2w60lG

Adityanath labelled Kejriwal a "liar" and said, "The electricity-water connection was cut and the sleeping people were picked up and sent to the UP border by buses. Announcement was made that buses are going for Anand Vihar, beyond that buses will be available for UP-Bihar. The UP government arranged buses for the migrant laborers and brought them back safely."

Kejriwal rebutted with, "Listen Yogi, you just let it be. Just like the dead bodies of the people of UP were floating in the river and you were giving advertisements of your false applause in Times magazine by spending crores of rupees. I have never seen such a heartless and cruel ruler like you."
