Sonia Gandhi is BJP's PM candidate: What Kejriwal said on Gujarat CM face

While responding to a question, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, who is in Gujarat to campaign ahead of the assembly elections, said on Tuesday that the BJP is "trying to make Sonia Gandhi the Prime Minister candidate after Narendra Modi".

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is in Gujarat to campaign ahead of the assembly elections, said on Tuesday that the BJP is "trying to make Sonia Gandhi the Prime Minister candidate after Narendra Modi". The statement was made in retort to the BJP's claim that activist Medha Patkar is the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)'s chief ministerial candidate.

At a press conference, a reporter asked him a question about the BJP saying that AAP is trying to "give a backdoor entry to Medha Patkar in Gujarat politics".

To which Arvind Kejriwal responded, "I have heard that the BJP is making Sonia Gandhi its PM candidate after (Narendra) Modi ji. Dare to ask them my question. I understand that you will be afraid of asking the question."

Medha Patkar, who contested the 2014 Lok Sabha election as an AAP candidate, has been accused by the BJP of harming the interests of Gujarati people by opposing the Narmada dam project.

Kejriwal said the BJP is deliberately trying to divert focus from its failures.
