CM: I should get a Nobel for running govt in tough times

Speaking at a protest organised by his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) against inflated water bills, Kejriwal said on a lighter note that he should be given the Nobel Prize for running the government despite adverse conditions.

"The way the BJP, along with the L-G, has been troubling the people and the way I have been constantly solving all these problems is something that I deserve a Nobel Prize for. But for me, the Nobel Prize is your love and support," he added.

Blowing the poll bugle, he urged the people to send all the 7 Lok Sabha candidates of the INDIA alliance from Delhi to Parliament.
