Ranvir Shorey takes dig at Arvind Kejriwal
Ranvir Shorey wrote on Twitter that Arvind Kejriwal drew from both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress Member of Parliament Rahul Gandhi. Highlighting the PM participating in religious rituals, like at the foundation stone-laying ceremony of Ram Mandir or Rahul Gandhi tearing documents, like the ordinance on convicted lawmakers during the Congress regime, the actor stated that Kejriwal also indulged in a similar act.
The Sacres Games 2 star also wrote, “He is that 2 in 1 who is setting new benchmarks on political opportunism” and sarcastically shared clapping emojis.
Earlier, former Union Minister Harsimrat Badal had also called Kejriwal’s act as ‘cheap publicity.’
Kejriwal rips Farm Laws
Arvind Kejriwal and his MLAs tore copies of the Farm laws, as the party passed a resolution against the laws. Claiming that BJP leaders themselves were not aware of the benefits of the laws, Kejrwal was quoted as saying, "What was the hurry to get Farm Laws passed in Parliament during a pandemic? It has happened for the time that three laws were passed without voting in Rajya Sabha...I hereby tear the farm laws in this assembly and appeal Centre not to become worst than Britishers."
