Come to Delhi, have lunch at my house: Arvind Kejriwal’s offer to Himanta Biswa Sarma in Guwahati

Sarma had on Friday threatened to file a defamation case against Kejriwal if the latter alleged corruption cases against him outside the assembly. “Is there any FIR or case against me anywhere in the country? I wanted to sue him but like a coward, he spoke inside the assembly,” the Assam CM had said.

“Let Kejriwal come here on April 2 and say that I am corrupt. The next day, I will file a defamation case against him as I have done against (AAP leader) Manish Sisodia,” Sarma had said.

Kejriwal had reportedly said in the Delhi Assembly that there are cases against Sarma.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann also accompanied Kejriwal to Guwahati on Sunday, where the duo addressed a rally. Addressing the rally, Kejriwal promised free electricity and jobs for all youths in Assam if AAP is voted to power in the Northeastern state.

“AAP came to power in Delhi in 2015 and the BJP here in 2016. Today, we have changed the face of Delhi. What has Himanta babu (Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma) done for the state in seven years? Nothing, only dirty politics,” Kejriwal alleged.

Taking a jibe at Sarma for the private school being run by his wife, the Delhi CM said, “In a state where the CM’s wife operates a private school, how can you expect the government to improve government schools?” On Sarma’s threat of suing him if he raised corruption charges against the BJP leader, Kejriwal said his Assam counterpart has not learnt the culture of people of the state, who accord a warm welcome to their guests.
