Uttarakhand being a Hindu majority state, Kejriwal was clearly taking part in the Hindu card in addition to pandering to the ex-servicemen’s vote financial institution.
The Aam Aadmi Celebration can, of late, be seen to make deliberate makes an attempt to shed its pro-Muslim picture by taking part in the Hindu card. Actually, his stoic silence and failure to denounce the anti-Muslim slogans raised at a Jantar Mantar rally had even prompted pro-Muslim twitter activists to explain the Delhi chief minister as a ‘Sanghi’.
His new ‘method’ has induced eyebrows to go up among the many liberal public opinion, which had all alongside supported the AAP political philosophy.
