Opposition tried to fail Odd-Even scheme: Kejriwal

May 05, 2016 08:29

Taking a jibe at the foreign visits of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal alleged the Opposition tried to ensure the failure of odd-even scheme as the initiative was being praised "world over".

He said the Opposition was worried after Delhi government's scheme was praised by a noted international magazine. "They had a fear. After the last odd-even, there were talks about it world over. Even Fortune magazine discussed about it....(Modi) is going around the globe, but not being praised," he said, without taking Modi's name.

"The AAP government people did not visit a single place, but even then they are being discussed world over. So they thought the odd-even scheme has to fail" Kejriwal said.
