Kejriwal E20 protest LIVE: BJP leader slams Kejriwal over proposed march
Kejriwal E20 protest LIVE: Delhi BJP President Harsh Malhotra said Kejriwal’s announcement to march to the PM’s residence is part of an ongoing competition with Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi to emerge as the country’s “No. 1 anarchist.”
“Tomorrow, when the police prevent him from entering the PM’s residence without permission, Kejriwal will once again play the victim card and claim that the government refused even to hold talks with him. The use of ethanol is the need of the hour, as it helps reduce air pollution, increases farmers’ income, and saves the country significant foreign exchange,” Malhotra added.
