New Delhi: While Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal makes a vigorous appeal for making India Number 1 country in the world, a fresh controversy has broken out relating to Delhi CM as well as party’s social media accounts.
A Twitter handle named the Indian Affairs on Wednesday made shocking claims about the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) as well as its convenor Arvind Kejriwal. It claimed that the social media accounts of Kejriwal & that of AAP and many other leaders are being operated from Qatar, Canada, Lithuania and America.
