Foul language doesn't suit a PM candidate, Kejriwal tells Modi

Arvind Kejriwal today hit out at Narendra Modi on Twitter after the BJP’s prime ministerial took a dig at him calling him a Pakistani agent and AK-49.

“Did Modi ji call me an agent of Pakistan and AK 49? Kya PM ke daawedar ko ye bhasha use karna shobha deta hai (Is it fitting for a PM candidate to use such language)?,” asked Kejriwal on Twitter.

In a series of tweets the Aam Aadmi Party chief questioned why Modi was against open debates and why he never chose to spoke about important issues. “Modi ji muddon ki baat kyon nahi karte? Muddon ki rajniti kyon nahi karte (Why does Modiji not speak about issues and practice issue based politics)? Why does he consistently avoid all invites for open debates?” asked Kejriwal.

“He will not respond on gas prices and false claims of Gujarat development. Why? He refuses to talk abt farmer suicides in Gujarat. Why?” the AAP leader added.

Questioning the presence of certain ministers in Modi’s Gujarat cabinet Kejriwal tweeted, “Modi refuses to respond on his compulsions to keep corrupt people like Babubhai Bokharia and Puruahottam Solanki in his cabinet. Why? He refuses to respond on his compulsions to give tkts to corrupt people like Yeddyurappa, Sriramlu n Ramvilas Paswan. Why?”

Taking further digs on Modi’s silence over various issues, Kejriwal tweeted, “Modi refuses to respond on his compulsions to give tickets to Muzaffarnagar riot accused. Why?”

Kejriwal also criticised the language used by Modi in his Jammu rally. “And he just responds by using foul language against me? Ye to theek nahi hai (This is not right),” Kejriwal said.

The tweets came after Modi today for the first time spoke about the AAP and Arvind Kejriwal at a rally and claimed that the party and its leaders were anti-national in their approach.

The attack on AAP came a day after Kejriwal announced that he would contest against Modi from the Varanasi constituency. Modi claimed that there were ’three AKs’ that were widely praised in Pakistan: one of them is the AK-47 assault rifle and the second is defence minister AK Antony for claiming intruders into Kashmir only wore Pakistan Army uniforms despite the fact that they were from the army.

“The third is AK-49. This man has just given birth to a party. On the party’s official website, the map has given off Kashmir to Pakistan,” he said.
