Mr Kejriwal, don't blame us for attack, it is a guru-shishya fight: BJP

November 19, 2013 11:47

The BJP today hit back at Arvind Kejriwal, who has accused the party of staging an attack on him at a press meet on Monday, and told him that the incident was a fallout of his fight with 'guru' Anna Hazare.

"Don't blame the BJP. It is your fight, a fight between guru and shishya (protege)," said BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar today. "Anna is charging you for misusing his name and funds."

Kejriwal had called the press conference to clarify allegations that he was misusing funds raised for the Lokpal movement for his election campaign, after receiving a sharp letter from Anna Hazare, a man he once called his guru.
