Watch: Big B Had Maa, But AAP's Raghav Chadha Has...: Famous Deewar Dialogue Makes It To Gujarat Battleground
On November 7, the Arvind Kejriwal-AAP announced names of 12 more candidates, including former Patidar quota leader Alpesh Kathiriya, for the upcoming Gujarat Assembly elections.
New Delhi: Ahead of Assembly elections in Gujarat, Aam Aadmi Party leader Raghav Chadha took a dig at the Bharatiya Janata Party using a dialogue from Amitabh Bachchan’s famous movie Deewar. Alleging that the saffron party uses government agencies like Enforcement Directorate and CBI for its political gain, Chadha said that Kejriwal had the blessings of Lord Krishna and support of Gujarat’s people.
“These BJP people make fun of us. They say BJP has everything — ED, CBI, Police, media, money, what do you have? I respond by saying that we have Arvind Kejriwal who has got blessings of Lord Krishna and support of people of Gujarat,” the AAP MP said.
