New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Monday (February 21) endorsed himself as a brand against corruption and chose a rather dramatic way to do so.
In an election rally in Uttar Pradesh’s Lucknow, Kejriwal counter attacked his rivals who accused him of being involved with anti-national forces following allegations by ex-AAP member Kumar Vishwas.
Kejriwal said, “I am a terrorist who scares the corrupt.”
Calling himself a nightmare for those who indulged in corrupt practices, Kejriwal used the famous dialogue of the iconic movie Sholay to express his reputation as a man against corruption.
He said, “There is a dialogue from Sholay movie…”Jab baccha bhrashtachar karta hai toh maa kehti hai soja beta varna Kejriwal aajayega…”
