New Delhi: AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday hit back at BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, saying if there was indeed a ‘Modi wave’ in India, then why was the Gujarat chief minister fighting the Lok Sabha polls from two places.

The former Delhi chief minister was equally harsh on Congress president Sonia Gandhi.

Accompanied by hundreds of Aam Aadmi Party workers, Kejriwal elicited enthusiastic response from Delhi residents as his campaign entourage wound through the crowded areas of Chandni Chowk and North West Delhi constituencies.

Asked why Modi branded him “a Pakistani agent” and an “AK-49”, Kejriwal shot back: “Why doesn’t Modi talk about issues I have raised, instead of calling me a Pakistani agent? And if there is indeed a Modi wave, why is he contesting the election from two places? Why is he having a ‘safe seat’ too? Why not contest from Varanasi alone?”

Kejriwal, who launched his campaign in the city on Monday evening, visited at least 10 places and met the people on Tuesday.

Travelling in an open vehicle along with party candidate Ashutosh and other party leaders, Kejriwal also answered queries from people.

Asked to comment on Sonia Gandhi’s mocking remark that “running a government is not child’s play”, in reference to the AAP’s short-lived government in Delhi, Kejriwal retorted that the comment was actually meant for her son and Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi.

“He (Rahul Gandhi) is a young man. She should not be saying such things,” he said in a mocking tone. (IANS)
