Rahul mocks Kejriwal
Rahul even mocked Kejriwal’s image as an "outsider promising change", saying, “Kejriwal used to drive a small car and promised a different kind of politics. He said he would change Delhi, but when the poor needed him most, when Delhi was torn by violence, he vanished."
'Country's biggest political scam'
Accusing Kejriwal of hypocrisy, Rahul added, “He promised to clean up politics, but instead, he was involved in the country’s biggest liquor scam. Everyone has seen the photos of his Sheesh Mahal. When Narendra Modi decided to take away my house after I was disqualified as an MP, I handed over the keys without hesitation. But Kejriwal continued living in his Sheesh Mahal.”
