New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party candidate for Delhi North East Lok Sabha seat Manoj Tiwari had an indignant reply on Saturday, May 4, for Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over his “naachta bahaut acha hai” remark, which he claimed had insulted the people of his constituency.
The tit for tat began yesterday when Kejriwal addressed an election rally in Delhi’s Badarpur region. Kejriwal, who was campaigning for his party candidate Dilip Pandey, said, “Manoj Tiwari dances very well. Pandey ji does not know how to dance but he knows how to work. This time, vote for who works. Do not vote for the person who dances.”
Responding to the jibe, Tiwari said people belonging to Purvanchal (eastern region) would teach him a lesson on May 12. “By abusing me, he has directly insulted the people of ‘Purvanchal’ and the same people will now show him what are the consequences of it,” the singer-actor-turned-politician said.
The elections for the seven seats in Delhi will take place in the sixth phase of voting on May 12. The counting of votes will take place on May 23.
