Bharatiya Janata Party MP Gautam Gambhir, on Friday, took to Twitter to respond to critics who earlier slammed him for attending the cricket match between India and Bangladesh on Saturday and allegedly skipping a meeting regarding the rising levels of pollution in Delhi. Gambhir, in his Twitter post, highlighted his achievements so far and what all he plans to do in the next 4.5 years of his tenure. The BJP MP from East Delhi also mentioned that he sits in his office from 11 am and does not leave until the grievances of people have been addressed. Towards the end of his message, Gautam Gambhir also took a dig at the Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and said that people of Delhi will judge him by his work and not by the false propaganda spread by minions of the 'honest CM' of Delhi.

Further, the AAP alleged that strict action should be taken on all the absentees as it amounts to contempt of court.
