Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convenor on Friday said Goa government build a helipad for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the state in two hours, however, a bus stop next to the site had not come up in 20 years.

Addressing a press conference in Panaji, "We are not criticising him, but we saw an irony. The irony of the matter is that right next to the site of the PM's helipad, a bus stop was to be built, and it hasn't come up in 20 years," Kejriwal said.

"The AAP wants to assure Goans that when a government has intent, it can do anything and everything it wants," he added.

He alleged that the Congress and BJP had done nothing for Goa. "The people of Goa had given the Congress 27 years and the BJP 15 years. These parties did nothing for Goa as a whole. On the contrary, they only worked together to plunder the state," Kejriwal said.

He claimed Goa's roads are in a state of disrepair, there is water shortage, electricity outage, children are unemployed and health and education services have collapsed.

The state Assembly polls, scheduled to be held on February 14. Counting of votes will take place on March 10.
