Kejriwal under fire for backing tweet abusing Rahul, Modi

January 28, 2014 10:38

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has courted another controversy by re-tweeting a post by music director Vishad Dadlani, in which he apparently called Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi a "moron" and BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi a "murderer".

The Aam Aadmi Partyleader, on Monday night, retweeted Dadlani's post which said: "Stuck between a moron and a murderer....what now, India!?"

The music director tweeted after Rahul Gandhi's first interview after a gap of 10 years.

Dadlani is a known supporter of Kejriwal-led AAP.

Meanwhile, BJP leader Nirmala Sitharamam has criticised the tweet and warned Kejriwal about endorsing such controversial tweets.

In his one month tenure as Delhi Chief Minister, Kejriwal has been embroiled in many controversies like the Somanth Bharti episode, protest near Rail Bhawan against Delhi police and sacking of AAP MLA Vinod Kumar Binny after he he turned rebellious and called him a "dictator".
