Taking a dig at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, his Bihar counterpart Nitish Kumar said some people are interested in publicity and questioned the work done by the city government in the last five years. The JD(U) chief was here to campaign for party candidate SCL Gupta for the February 8 Delhi assembly polls. Mr Gupta is contesting the elections from the Sangam Vihar constituency in south Delhi. "Some people are more interested in publicity and advertisements. We don't do that," Mr Kumar said.
"Those who got the mandate to govern Delhi did nothing," he said.

"When Article 370 was abrogated, pain was felt by Pakistan and Arvind Kejriwal," Mr Adityanath said.
The Congress has promised to pass a resolution against the Citizenship Amendment Act if elected to power in its manifesto.The party said that it will pass the resolution in the first session of the Delhi Assembly after the elections and will ask the Centre to withdraw the Act.
The Aam Aadmi Party on Sunday demanded the Election Commission to ban Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath from campaigning in the national capital over his alleged provocative speeches.

केजरीवाल जी, दिल्ली को बनाने में पूर्वांचल के लोगों का बहुत बड़ा योगदान है लेकिन आपको इस बात का अहसास तक नहीं।

जिस तरह आपने पूर्वांचली भाई-बहनो का बार-बार अपमानित किया, वह एक मुख्यमंत्री को शोभा नहीं देता।
