launching a broadside against Prime Minister Narendra Modi after his photo appeared in Reliance Jio’s advertisement Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal dubbed the PM as “Mr Reliance”, accusing him of “openly endorsing” its latest Jio services.
Kejriwal’s potshot at Modi, including an advice to him to “keep modelling for Reliance”, came on a day the Mukesh Ambandi-led group splashed advertisements featuring the face of the Prime Minister across newspapers.
“Modiji you keep modelling for Reliance ads. labourers across the country will teach you a lesson in 2019. PM as Mr Reliance. Any more proof required to prove that Modiji is in Ambani’s pockets. PM of India openly endorses Reliance product,” Kejriwal said in a series of tweets.
Reliance, through its advetisements, dedicated the Jio 4G service to the Modi Government’s flagship Digital India project.
During its launch on Thursday, Ambani had said “Jio will fulfill Digital India dream of PM Modi”. He had also called Jio a “revolutionary” step to realise India’s digital ambitions.
