The Aam Aadmi Party's founder Arvind Kejriwal has shown that he does not baulk at breaking old rules in politics by shinning up electricity poles to cut connections and sleeping on a pavement to make his point. But even his followers on Twitter and Facebook found it hard to believe that he would tweet a spoof video of Mukesh Ambani that started doing the rounds soon after Kejriwal had filed a first information report against the Reliance chief alleging manipulation of natural gas prices. So much so, say party workers, that people called the AAP office to ask if Kejriwal's account had been hacked or whether he was aware that such a tweet had been released from his handle. Kejriwal had to assure them that no one but he had tweeted the link to the video.
