BJP Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy on Sunday launched a scathing attack on  Kejriwal-led AAP government in Delhi calling Delhi CM a "Shree 420" who does nothing for capital apart from regularly appearing on TV briefings. His tweet came in response to worsening Coronavirus situation in capital which has been witnessing a surge of cases that are inching closer towards 1.3 lakh mark. Meanwhile, Gujarat has witnessed about half cases of Delhi despite being one of largest states in country, reporting a little over 54,000 cases. While Delhi accounts for 9% of total cases in country, Gujarat only accounts for 1.6%.
