New Delhi, 18/2: Congress on Friday slammed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for comparing himself to legendary freedom fighter Bhagat Singh and called it an insult to the freedom fighters.
Congress spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill said, “While Shaheed Bhagat Singh sacrificed his life for the nation, Arvind Kejriwal is not willing to give up even one of his posts. He is both CM and National Convenor of AAP due to his lust for power. Kejriwal comparing himself to Bhagat Singh is an insult to our freedom fighters & reflects his desperation for votes.”
Earlier in the day, dismissing as “comedy”, allegations levelled by former party leader Kumar Vishwas that he had made “separatist” comments, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday described himself as “world’s sweetest terrorist who builds roads, hospitals and sends elderly people to pilgrimage.
