Let Kejriwal come here & say that I am corrupt: Assam CM Sarma

Ahead of AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal's visit, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has warned the Delhi CM that he will "sue" him if speaks against him in his state.

"Is there any FIR or case against me anywhere in the country? I wanted to sue him but like a coward, he spoke inside the assembly," the Assam chief minister said.

Kejriwal had reportedly said in the Delhi Assembly that there are cases against Sarma. The Delhi CM said that one should not speak against anybody inside the assembly where the accused is not there to defend himself.

"Let Kejriwal come here on April 2 and say that I am corrupt. The next day, I will file a defamation case against him as I have done against (AAP leader) Manish Sisodia," the Assam CM stated.

Sarma had filed a criminal defamation case against Sisodia, the then Delhi Deputy Chief Minister, at the Court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kamrup, in August last year for levelling some allegations against him at a press conference in New Delhi. The BJP leader was then the health minister.

"There is no case against me before any agency or court," Sarma said.

The chief ministers of Assam and Delhi have often sparred on Twitter over issues related to education and health.

The Delhi Kejriwal along with his Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann is scheduled to attend their first political rally in Assam on April 2.
