"....As if he's PM of Pakistan": Kejriwal attacks Modi at Naidu rally

“One may have voted for any party but after elections, whoever wins and becomes the CM, is the CM of the entire state and not of a particular party.

Similarly, when one becomes the PM, then he is the PM of the entire country, not just one party, “Kejriwal said at Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's daylong fast demanding special status for his state here. “The way PM Modi treats governments of opposition parties in states, he behaves like he is not the PM of India but PM of Pakistan, he added.
