The Union minister’s remark comes in the wake of the ongoing political slugfest between the AAP and the BJP over the freebie row.
Kejriwal has alleged the BJP-led Centre is "strongly opposing" free facilities to people as it lacks funds to support such welfare measures after waiving loans and taxes worth crores of rupees of its "super-rich friends".
Thakur claimed that Kejriwal's outburst against the Centre was to "cover up" allegations of corruption against the ministers in the Delhi government.
