Modi can even have me murdered, says Kejriwal

Kejriwal appealed to AAP leaders that the party was passing a critical time and the situation will worsen

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal alleged on Wednesday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was so angry with the AAP that he can even have him (Kejriwal) murdered.

In an open appeal to his party colleagues, ministers and legislators, Kejriwal said the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was passing through "a critical time" and the situation was sure to worsen.

Accusing Modi of acting in anger and trying to crush the AAP, Kejriwal said: "They can have us killed. They can even have me killed."

Kejriwal's nine-minute statement follows a spate of arrests of AAP legislators in Delhi and what he said were efforts to disqualify 21 other legislators on the issue of holding office of profit.
