New Delhi, Mar 4 (UNI) Reacting to BJP president Amit Shah claiming that "more than 250" terrorists were killed in the Balakot air strike, Aam Aadmi party leadr and Delhi Chief minister Arvind kejriwal on Monday asked if Amit Shah and BJP did not trust the army.

In a series of posts on the social media,, Mr Kejriwal said, "As per Amit Shah, is army lying ? The army has clearly said that who is dead or not, or how many people have died (Balakot air strike), it cannot be said. "

Mr Kejriwal said that Amit Shah’s statement suggested that the army is lying.

"The army cannot lie, the BJP is lying. The entire nation is with the army, but BJP is against the army," he said.

Charging Amit Shah and BJP of trying to get electoral advantage of the air strikes in the run up to 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the AAP supremo said,"The country has faith in the army. Does Amit Shah and BJP not trust the army?."

Addressing an election rally in Gujarat on Sunday, BJP president Amit Shah claimed that "more than 250" terrorists were killed in Balakot air strikes .
