PM @narendramodi kicked off his Delhi campaign against Delhi's common citizens and @AamAadmiParty with lies, misinformation and fake news about Delhi governance and used #CAA to stoke and spread communalism A-game. Here's a fact-check on his 1 hour 37 minutes speech.

Thread.

@narendramodi @AamAadmiParty First up, he tried to create a comprehensive bouquet of BJP's broken leadership in organization and ideas by getting three Cabinet Ministers, 7 MPs and VK Malhotra of yore to appear together on Delhi's platform. For a man who said #ModiVsWho, he has no answer to @ArvindKejriwal.

@narendramodi @AamAadmiParty @ArvindKejriwal Unlike other elections, where he has @INCIndia, Jawaharlal Nehru and Italy to badger, he has a bunch of hobbits, engineers and professionals from the Shire to deal with. Instead of raising specific issues, he tried to group Congress and AAP and raked up nudge-wink gossip.

@narendramodi @AamAadmiParty @ArvindKejriwal @INCIndia The stage, hoarding, background and only policy content that Modi spoke about was unauthorized colonies and their regularization. He didn't mention details, address any content on the bill/act in Parliament and expressed no plan for development or regularization of urban spaces.

@narendramodi @AamAadmiParty @ArvindKejriwal @INCIndia I've alread written a 40-tweet storm on unauthorized colonies from the lens of policy, strategy, urban rejuvenation, engineering, and society. It catalogues the work of @ArvindKejriwal and the lies of @narendramodi and @HardeepSPuri. Responses any? :)

@narendramodi @AamAadmiParty @ArvindKejriwal @INCIndia @HardeepSPuri He made no commentary about work of the @AamAadmiParty in Bijli, Paani, Shiksha, and Swasthya ably delivered by Dy CM @msisodia and Home Minister @SatyendarJain. His survey told him to not contest ground reality with his fake news. He used anecdotes and jokes instead of facts.

@narendramodi @AamAadmiParty @ArvindKejriwal @INCIndia @HardeepSPuri @msisodia @SatyendarJain He made comments on Delhi's water using offhand anecdotes and stories contradicting his own Water Minister. Delhi's water access has increased from 50% to 90%, sewerage access from 33% to 80% and is one of the world's best cities in the water and sanitation sector. All under AAP.

@narendramodi @AamAadmiParty @ArvindKejriwal @INCIndia @HardeepSPuri @msisodia @SatyendarJain He could not use Ayushman Bharat against Delhi's Mohalla clinics and plans for universal health coverage so he made a passing 20-second comment on its national numbers. Most of which are fake and unutilized. Where was Ayushman Bharat when Gorakhpur kids passed away? @narendramodi

@narendramodi @AamAadmiParty @ArvindKejriwal @INCIndia @HardeepSPuri @msisodia @SatyendarJain Next was 20 minutes of self-aggrandizing bullshit on giving houses (which have no path to the registry), doing urban rejuvenation (MoHUA has no plan or budget) and calling out DDA and MCD (Both are under Government of India and BJP). PM @narendramodi needs better researchers.

@narendramodi @AamAadmiParty @ArvindKejriwal @INCIndia @HardeepSPuri @msisodia @SatyendarJain He called out stuff from the Congress reign of 1998 to 2013 on unauthorized colonies when Late Sheila Dikshit ji and former IAS officer and UD expert in state and center DM Sapolia used to make a fool out of Delhi residents. He failed to mention he does the same once again.

@narendramodi @AamAadmiParty @ArvindKejriwal @INCIndia @HardeepSPuri @msisodia @SatyendarJain DDA lives and dies by developers like DLF and power elite keeps bringing up policies like land pooling which sounds great in theory but in India's rule of law system and Delhi's governance structure (with Police, DDA and MCD with GoI) ensures that urban poor and our city lose.

@narendramodi @AamAadmiParty @ArvindKejriwal @INCIndia @HardeepSPuri @msisodia @SatyendarJain He then made some comments on water quality on which @irvpaswan and @gssjodhpur have contradicted each other. It also seems to be clear that @irvpaswan is in cahoots with the RO vendors. Plus he did need to make some veiled remarks on @ArvindKejriwal without mentioning him.

@narendramodi @AamAadmiParty @ArvindKejriwal @INCIndia @HardeepSPuri @msisodia @SatyendarJain @irvpaswan @gssjodhpur Lack of content on Delhi made him speak for another 7 minutes about the Ujjwala Yojana, PMAY, Traffic and Mobility with no numbers and content from Delhi that made sense. He forgot to remind Delhi how he increased metro fares. Link here.

@narendramodi @AamAadmiParty @ArvindKejriwal @INCIndia @HardeepSPuri @msisodia @SatyendarJain @irvpaswan @gssjodhpur He then, as usual, took credit for 5 projects that AAP has implemented. From ease of doing business, ease of living, brick kiln cleanliness intervention, PNG/CNG projects and stubble burning support. AAP's plan for air quality and collaborations with IITs disprove his statements.

@narendramodi @AamAadmiParty @ArvindKejriwal @INCIndia @HardeepSPuri @msisodia @SatyendarJain @irvpaswan @gssjodhpur PM @narendramodi's Delhi election rally had only 26 minutes for Delhi. The rest:
1. Congress attack: 22 min
2. CAA defense: 20 min
3. Straw men of police/public property: 15 min each
4. Mitron/Chanting/Pauses: 11 min
5. Muslims and the world: 10 min
6. @MamataOfficial: 8 min

@narendramodi @AamAadmiParty @ArvindKejriwal @INCIndia @HardeepSPuri @msisodia @SatyendarJain @irvpaswan @gssjodhpur @MamataOfficial And in typical Modi style, he finished by asking people to do work that his incompetent agencies have not done. Single-use plastic ban and cleaning our colonies are externalities from the incompetent agencies of DDA and MCD under @HardeepSPuri and Delhi BJP oaf @ManojTiwariMP.
