The immediate response of the CM was, however, not introspective. Rather, he clearly said that the oppositions were making the Gandhian activist a scapegoat to attack him. Targeting the BJP government, the Delhi CM responded, “Whenever they say something and the people don’t listen to them, they bring someone forward. During the Punjab elections, they said Kejriwal is a terrorist. When people started laughing at them, they brought Kumar Vishwas forward and made him say it. Now they are saying there is a scam in the excise policy, the CBI has not found anything and has given an informal clean chit. The people are not listening to them, so they are now firing from Anna Hazare’s shoulder. This is politics.”
