Addressing the press after visiting slums in Delhi's Shakur Basti area, Kejriwal also accused the BJP of ignoring the slum dwellers for five years and then reaching out to them only during elections for votes. Kejriwal also alleged that Amit Shah "abused" him in his meeting with the slum dwellers, adding that "any civilised person would feel ashamed to hear them".
