That Arvind Kejriwal lies through his teeth to create sensationalist ‘breaking news’ points is not news to anyone. Most recently, he released a pack of lies about Gujarat in the form of his ‘campaign’ in Gujarat. Needless to say, none of the lies peddled by Kejriwal had anything to do with reality as it exists in Gujarat.
Why Pakistan loves Arvind Kejriwal
There is no denying Gujarat’s development story
Kejriwal’s lie #1: If Modi comes to power, all the farmers will lose their lands and the land will be given to big industrialists.
Why this is a brazen lie: The Supreme Court of India has praised Gujarat for implementing a land acquisition policy which is based on giving the market value of land to the farmers. Land is acquired mainly through the consent of farmers. While there have been a lot of agitations against land acquisition in various parts of the country, Gujarat has remained untouched by such farmer protests because of such pro-farmer policies.
Kejriwal’s lie #2: There have been 5874 farmer suicides in Gujarat in the last 10 years.
Why this is not true: This is Kejriwal’s biggest lie about Gujarat. In fact, during Kejriwal’s recent visit to Gujarat, he said that 800 farmers have committed suicide in the State the last 10 years. It appears Kejriwal has a penchant for pronouncing people dead even while they are alive. Within 15 days the number of farmer suicides, as per Kejriwal, went up from 800 to 5874. Kejriwal’s lie proves how big a propagandist he is. The truth is that in the last 10 years, only one farmer has committed suicide due to crop failure.
Kejriwal’s lie #3: If Narendra Modi comes to power, FDI will be permitted in retail and all small traders will lose their business.
Why this is the exact opposite of the truth: The BJP has made its policy on FDI in retail very clear and has been very clear about its opposition to FDI in retail.
Kejriwal’s lie #4: 60,000 MSMEs have closed down in Gujarat.
Why this makes no sense at all: This is yet another mammoth lie coming from Kejriwal. In truth, there are 5.19 lakh registered MSME units in Gujarat. As per the census conducted by Central Government in 2001-2002, 22 per cent units were closed. In 2006-2007, the closed units were only 12 per cent and as on March 31, 2012, the closed units amounted to only 5 per cent. At 95 per cent of around 5.19 lakh units being functional, Gujarat is certainly leading in the MSME sector in the country. This is reflected in the high growth in the manufacturing sector in Gujarat.
In summary then, Arvind Kejriwal will do anything to get your attention. But think twice, and then twice again, before you take his word for it. In Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal grew accustomed to the limelight. The king-size lies he is peddling these days are a sign of his withdrawal symptoms.
