Locked in a bitter standoff with the Centre, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of being"revengeful" towards his government and the people of Delhi after the BJP's staggering defeat in Delhi polls.   

Kejriwal was even more strident in attacking Delhi's Lt Governor Najeeb Jung, calling him as BJP's "polling agent" who had turned his official residence into "BJP headquarters".   

"Delhi people have voted for us and the rest of the country supported Modi. So please let us run Delhi and you (Modi) run the country. Don't create trouble for us every day through the LG. This is not being a good prime minister. Taking revenge for losing Delhi from people and AAP is not right," he said, sending out a message to Modi.   

Slamming Jung, Kejriwal said he does not give time even to Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia or other Delhi ministers for a meeting or take his calls. "But if the 'chowkidar'(watchman) of (BJP President) Amit Shah calls him (LG), he will crawl and go."   

Alleging that the "LG house has become another BJP headquarter," Kejriwal said, "He (LG) is acting like a poll agent of the BJP."
