Heard of work from home, first time hearing about work from jail: Rajnath Singh
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday took a dig at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, saying he had heard about “work from home” but it is the first time that he is hearing of “work from jail”.
Addressing an election rally in Khanna for the BJP’s Fatehgarh Sahib candidate Gejja Ram Valmiki, Singh said, “Here, A is the ruling party. You don’t need to be told much about what kind of work it is doing.”
“There is also an A government in Delhi. But the A leader was jailed in the liquor scam,” Singh, said referring to Kejriwal’s arrest in a money-laundering case linked to the alleged excise policy scam.
The defence minister said he thinks every leader should have the moral courage to resign from their post if they face any allegation until being cleared of the charges.
This is morality, he said.
“A leader Kejriwal was jailed in the liquor scam. Even after that, he says he will continue to occupy the chief minister’s post. He says he will work from jail,” Singh said.
The Supreme Court granted A supremo Kejriwal interim bail till June 1, the last day of the seven-phase Lok Sabha elections, and directed him to surrender and go back to jail on June 2.
“We know about work from office, I have heard about work from home but this is the first time I am hearing about work from jail,” Singh said in a dig at the Delhi chief minister.
He also attacked Kejriwal on floating A following the Anna Hazare-led movement against corruption.
