Cong releases booklet, calls Kejriwal ‘Muffler U Turn’
20 Jan 2015 6:42 AM IST
Congress on Monday gave Arvind Kejriwal the dubious sobriquet of “Muffler U Turn” as it released a booklet seeking to “expose” the AAP chief.
“49 dino ki ultee chaal, Dilli hui behal, U turn Kejriwal” is the title of the eight-page booklet released at a press conference at the AICC headquarters here by party General Secretary Ajay Maken and Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee chief Arvinder Singh. The booklet aimed to hit out at the previous AAP government, alleging that the 49-day rule of the AAP in Delhi was a nightmare for the people with Kejriwal as the Chief Minister specialising in U turns.
Claiming that Kejriwal could have created a “world record” on going back on his words, Maken gave the AAP chief the sobriquet of “Muffler U turn” as his image in public is that of a man donning a muffler and is often referred to as the “Muffler Man” by his supporters.
The booklet contains 16 points with each listing promises made by the AAP chief. The first point was on the issue of joining politics, stating that Kejriwal in an interview on September 12, 2011, had said he would never join politics.
“We do not need to get into the system to fight it. We want to pressurise the government and assert our rights as everyone who has a dream need not get into politics,” he had said.
Bribe remark: Cong moves EC
Irked by his “bribe remarks” made at a poll rally on Sunday, Congress has moved the Election Commission against Arvind Kejriwal demanding action against him. In a complaint to Chief Election Commissioner H S Brahma and Election Commissioner SNA Zaidi, Congress Secretary and incharge of legal cell department K C Mittal said by making such a statement, Kejriwal is instigating people to take bribe for voting and has maligned the electoral process.
