Kejriwal goes all guns blazing at PM Modi

Amid the explosive political fallout of the arrest of his former aide Bibhav Kumar in connection with the alleged assault on AAP Rajya Sabha MLA Swati Maliwal, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday came out all guns blazing at the BJP-led Centre and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Invoking the arrest of several of his party leaders, the CM, who himself is out on interim bail in connection with a money laundering case linked to the now junked Delhi excise policy, questioned if the people elected a prime minister or a ‘thanedar’ (police officer).

Addressing a public rally at Bhajanpura, ahead of polling for the Lok Sabha in the national capital on May 25, the AAP national convenor said, “It is up to you (people). If you vote for the ‘Lotus’ symbol (of the BJP), I will have to go back to jail. But if you push the ‘Hand’ symbol (of ally Congress), I may not have to go to jail. They (BJP) have unleashed ‘gundagardi’ (hooliganism) on the Opposition.”
