The Delhi Chief Minister said that the development in Uttar Pradesh was held back because of the "dirty politics" and "corrupt leaders" there.
The political parties have stabbed people in the back in Uttar Pradesh, he said. Also, Arvind Kejriwal questioned why people from Uttar Pradesh should have to think about the same health services and education just like the national capital.
Adding, he said that Mohalla clinics, free electricity, water, good education and health facilities could be provided in the state.
