Jaihind, who is contesting from Rohtak, a seat represented by two-time MP Deepender Singh Hooda, son of Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, also drove to file his nomination papers in Kejriwal's "lucky" blue Wagon-R car.
"I dont own any car and Arvind (Kejriwal) happened to ask me as to how was I campaigning for election since I do not have a car. When he came to know my plight, he offered me his car.
He has asked me to use the car until I arrange one for myself," Jaihind told PTI. He has been using this car for the past three days for electioning.
Jaihind has been associated with Kejriwal since 2007. His wife Swati Maliwal was in the Core Committee of India Against Corruption. He has recently submitted his doctorate thesis in Physical Education at the Maharshi Dayanand University in Haryana. Kejriwal publicly asked him to contest from Rohtak and challenge the Hoodas in their bastion.
"He (Jaihind) has been active in college politics and has led several agitations for students in the University. He had demanded that students who undertake blood donation should be given more marks for promotion of the cause," said Sandeep Phogat, an MPhil student at MD university who has been campaigning for Jaihind.
While he was on a dharna outside Rail Bhavan in chilling cold, he sought temporary refuge in the car.
