AAP MLAs issue: Paswan takes potshot at Kejriwal

Bengaluru, June 15: Taking a potshot at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over the issue of the office of profit, involving 21 AAP MLAs, Union Minister and BJP ally Ramvilas Paswan on Wednesday called him "great", who could do anything.

"Kejriwal is great. He can do anything. He can make 21 look 42. We all know his style of working as the Chief Minister. He went on dharna at India Gate and slept overnight in protest near the Rail Bhavan," Paswan told PTI here.

The President's refusal of assent to a Delhi bill to shield 21 AAP MLAs from office of profit rule has triggered a major row with Kejriwal accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of vendetta politics while the BJP and Congress demanded the concerned legislators' immediate disqualification.

The Election Commission is currently examining petitions seeking disqualification of the 21 AAP MLAs.
