New Delhi: Reacting to the posters that surfaced calling him “anti-Hindu”, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said that he was born on Krishna Janmashtami and God sent him with a special task to finish off “descendants” of Kansa.
He alleged that the posters and banners have used insulting words for God adding that the people of Gujarat will not spare those who have used such words. “The people put the poster have used insulting words for God. They have insulted God. They hate me so much that they have not even spared God in the poster. I want to ask the people of Gujarat if they are going to spare those who have used such words. These people are the children of Kansa, who are insulting God,” said Kejriwal while addressing in Vadodara.
He further called himself a religious person and an ardent devotee of Lord Hanuman.

“I was born on Krishna Janmashtami and God has sent me with a special task to finish off the descendants of Kansa, the corrupts and goons,” said Kejriwal.
Trying to put an end to the controversy over alleged “anti-Hindu” statements by AAP’s Delhi Social Welfare Minister Rajendra Pal Gautam in Delhi.
Meanwhile, BJP leader Harish Khurana was quick to check Kejriwal claim via a simple google search as he tweeted, “Do you think the people of Gujarat are fools? @ArvindKejriwal. You are saying that you were born on the day of Krishna Janmashtami, the truth is that you were born on 16 August 1968 and that year Janmashtami was on 15 August. Anything to show yourself as Krishna Bhakta for the votes”.
गुजरात की जनता को क्या तुम बेफ़क़ूफ समझते हो क्या @ArvindKejriwal ?
तुम कह रहे हो तुम्हारा जनम कृष्ण जन्माष्टमी वाले दिन हुआ था, सच्चाई यह है तुम्हारा जनम 16 अगस्त 1968 को हुआ और उस वर्ष जन्माष्टमी 15 अगस्त को था।
वोट के लिए अपने आप को कृष्ण भक्त दिखाने के लिए कुछ भी। https://t.co/kdjaTfMJhm pic.twitter.com/QYIuGh22RJ
