Taking an apparent dig at Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Sudhanshu Trivedi on Monday welcomed the Election Commission's (EC) decision of censuring Kejriwal over violating the Model Code of Conduct.
"BJP believes that not only did he ( Kejriwal) violate the Model Code of Conduct, but infact, he has scant regard for the Constitution. Hence, people should introspect about such political leaders while choosing them as their representatives."
