If he (Modi) could have understood the meaning of education, he would not have sent Manish Sisodia to jail&#8230; If PM Modi was a real patriot, he would not send the person who brought revolution in Delhi&#8217;s education system to jail, &#8221; Kejriwal said while addressing public gathering in Bhopal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hitting out at the BJP, the AAP leader said that in the last 20 years of the BJP government in Madhya Pradesh, &#8220;people have seen one after another scam &#8211; Vyapam, e-tendering, paper leaks. This what the BJP has done in Madhya Pradesh during its 20 years of rule.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Not even a single BJP MLA has been sent to jail despite so much corruption taking place in the state during the last 20 years, &#8221; Kejriwal asserted, adding that the people of the state are &#8220;fed up with so-called &#8216;mama&#8217; (Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan) and now they also want a change here like in Delhi and Punjab&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;People of Delhi supported us, and we did a lot of work. People of Punjab have also shown trust in AAP, and we are working with full commitment, things will change there in next five years. I would urge people of Madhya Pradesh to give one chance to AAP, and we will bring big changes here too, &#8221; he added. <strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bhopal:&nbsp; Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal raised questions on Prime Minister Narendra Modi&#8217;s patriotism, arguing that &#8220;he wouldn&#8217;t have sent the person who brought revolution in Delhi&#8217;s education system to jail if he would have been a real patriot&#8221;.
