‘Kejriwal made several inappropriate statements about PM Modi’
“There is no doubt that Kejriwal has made several inappropriate statements about the Prime Minister. He even claimed that the PM would have to take another birth to win Delhi. But whenever someone considers another person small, it only means they are either watching from a great distance or seeing with their ego,” he was quoted as saying.
Notably in the recent Assembly polls, BJP 48 seats while AAP won in 22 seats in 70-member Assembly. Kejriwal himself lost to BJP’s Parvesh Verma from New Delhi seat by a margin of 4,089 votes.
On AAP leader Atishi being named temporary Chief Minister, Saxena added, “Yes, it is true that they made Atishi CM temporarily, as Kejriwal himself had said he would return as CM if AAP won. However, the Supreme Court has barred him from signing any files or entering the CM’s office.”
