Friend in need

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is engaged in a war of words with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has jumped onto the 'DNA' bandwagon. After watching a special screening of the movie Manjhi: The Mountain Man, based on the life of a poor labourer who carved a path through a mountain in Bihar using a hammer and chisel, Kejriwal said that with the Bihar Assembly polls round the corner, everyone should watch the film to know what the 'DNA' of Bihar was made of. Incidentally, the chief ministers of Delhi and Bihar have met several times in recent weeks in a show of solidarity against common rival, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Kejriwal hosted Nitish Kumar at a function in Delhi on Wednesday. He had earlier said the Aam Aadmi Party would not field candidates in Bihar to ensure that the anti-BJP vote was not split.
