Taking a dig at Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari over the work done by him in his constituency in the past five years, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has said that the BJP leader only knows how to dance very well.

Kejriwal made the remarks while campaigning for AAP North East Delhi candidate Dilip Pandey. The AAP convenor further said that Pandey knew how to work very well even though he cannot dance.

“Manoj Tiwari naachta bahaut acha hai, Pandey ji (AAP’s North-East Delhi candidate Dilip Pandey) ko naachna nahi aata, kaam karna aata hai, is baar kaam karne wale ko vote dena, naachne wale ko vote mat dena (Manoj Tiwari dances very well. Dilip Pandey does not know how to dance but can work very well. This time vote for those who will work, not those who dance),” Kejriwal can be heard saying in a video that has gone viral.
