Kejriwal failed in Delhi, now selling LS ticket for Rs 6 crore: BJP

Following Balbir Singh Jakhar`s son`s allegations that his father paid Rs 6 crore to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for an AAP ticket, Union minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Prakash Javadekar on Saturday held a press conference and said that it was big. "Even Anna Hazare said that Arvind Kejriwal was overpowered by money and power. Kejriwal didn’t live up to his promises of providing wifi, cctv in buses, women safety. He failed and he is now selling AAP ticket for Rs 6 crore. One more important issue is Sam Pitroda’s statement where Kejriwal refused to comment on. Why? `Hua-toh-hua` comment can’t be taken lightly. From chilli powder, shoes to slap - everything happens with him and then blame BJP," Prakash Javadekar said.
