'Kejriwal More Theatrical Than Modi'

Darpan News Desk IANS, 18 May, 2016 12:10 PM

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal indulges in more theatrics than Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress general secretary Digvijaya Singh said on Wednesday.

"Kejriwal is a bigger 'nautankibaaz' politician than Modi. He is known to say something and do something else, said Singh.

Kejriwal is scheduled to address a public rally in the state capital on May 22.

Singh, Congress general secretary in charge of Goa, said that the Aam Aadmi Party leader had betrayed the trust of anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare, both of whom had teamed up to start the India Against Corruption campaign.

"He has thrown out those who supported him in becoming the chief minister of Delhi. I want to ask where are Hazare, Yogendra Yadav, Shanti Bhushan and Prasant Bhusan. They were thrown out of the party because they wanted to know where had the contributions made to India Against Corruption gone?" the Congress leader said.
