‘My politics is not of Khaira, but about people’

PNS

Chief Minister and AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday made it clear that he was not concerned about party’s rebel MLA Sukhpal Khaira.

During a media interaction during his visit to Chandigarh, Kejriwal minced no words to say that any action, if required, would be initiated against the rebels.

On repeated queries by reporters on internal strife in AAP’s Punjab unit, Kejriwal was quick to reply, “My politics is not Sukhpal Khaira.”

“My politics is towards the people of this country. My politics is for a corruption-free India. My politics is for providing good education, setting up hospitals,” he said.

On being told that Khaira has been regularly challenging his leadership, Kejriwal said, “Let him do so. How does it matter?”

Asked about Khaira’s reported statement in media that he did not want to take name of the Delhi Chief Minister, Kejriwal said: “I also want that he should not take my name.”

However, later Khaira made it clear that he had never said that he did not want to take Kejriwal’s name, and he was being misquoted.
