Kejriwal on Modi's Naxal barb: Such language doesn't suit PM
January 13, 2015  21:10
Responding to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Naxal' barb, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal today said such kind of language did not suit the prime minister.

Hitting back at Modi, who had said the BJP had a mastery in governance, the AAP leader said his party knew the art of wiping out bribery from governance.

"The prime minister launched an attack on me in a rally, saying Arvind Kejriwal is a Naxal. Am I a Naxal? Do I need to go to forest?" the AAP leader said addressing a rally in Wazirpur assembly constituency in New Delhi.

"But this does not suit the prime minister. Should the BJP do this (resort to such attacks)?" Kejriwal asked. This is the first time Kejriwal has responded to the Naxal barb in a rally.

In an apparent reference to Kejriwal's comment made almost a year back that he was an "anarchist", Modi, in his rally on Saturday, said, "If somebody is an anarchist, he should go to the jungles and join the Naxals."
