Congress leader Pramod Tewari today hit out at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for his remarks against party leaders including Sonia Gandhi in his statement on the multi-crore tanker scam.
"I advise Kejriwal to desist from making cheap statements against national leaders of Congress in the future...He should remember that he is commenting on Sonia Gandhi, the lady who had given up the post of Prime Minister as she has no temptation for power," Tewari said.
"On the other hand, Kejriwal is the one who went back on his promises just for the post of Chief Minister and also betrayed his guru Anna Hazare," he alleged.
The AAP national convener had yesterday in a statement said, "I want to make one thing clear to Modiji that I am not Rahul Gandhi. I am not Sonia Gandhi who you will manage to pressurise. I am not Vadra with whom you will enter into a setting. I will die but won't tolerate fraud."
Kejriwal had made the statement while hitting out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi alleging that the FIR linking his government to the multi-crore rupees water tanker scam was filed at the latter's behest.
Tewari claimed that barring the "fake drama and advertisement campaign", Kejriwal has "nothing to boast of" as the Chief Minister of Delhi.
