The "anarchic character" of the "NGO politics" practiced by Arvind Kejriwal stands exposed before the people of the country, the BJP's Delhi unit chief Manoj Tiwari today said, as he took a dig at the chief minister who tendered an apology to Union minister Nitin Gadkari over a defamation case.

He also alleged that Kejriwal is a regular violator of law" and has "misused" the Right to Information Act against his political opponents, in connivance with a section of media which prefers to run anti-establishment news.

Days after apologising to former Punjab minister Bikram Singh Majithia, Kejriwal continued with his string of apologies today, the latest recipients being senior advocate Amit Sibal, son of former Union minister Kapil Sibal, and Union transport minister and BJP leader Nitin Gadkari.

Kejriwal in a written apology to Gadkari expressed regret for certain statements he made against him which had prompted the minister to file a defamation case.

The anarchic character of NGO politics practiced by Arvind Kejriwal and his compatriots today stands exposed before the people of the country, Tiwari said.

Kejriwal had last week apologised to Majithia for accusing him of being involved in drugs trade. The move had taken everyone by surprise, especially the Aam Aadmi Party's Punjab unit.

AAP's Punjab unit president Bhagwant Mann and its co-president Aman Arora had resigned their posts in protest against Kejriwal's apology.
