Gautam Gambhir Accuses Kejriwal Of Lying
Gautam Gambhir on Tuesday joined his party leaders in calling out Delhi Chief Minister and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal a 'liar'. Gautam attacked Kejriwal, terming him as the "chief pretender".
"This is an amazing Chief Minister!! Lied to Anna Hazare... Then lied to his friends... Lied to all governments... And then lied to thousands of people of 'Delhi'!! Chief Minister or Chief Pretender??" Gambhir wrote on Twitter in Hindi.
In another tweet, the cricketer-turned-politician said, "AAP's message is Entertain or Frighten, But seize power. I (Gautam Gambhir) appeal to the youth of Delhi, that on 8 February, the election of Delhi is not just a battle to save the future. We will fight these battles together and make Delhi 'Delhi' once again. Jai Hind."
