Arvind Kejriwal
Injecting a new element, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday urged former Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha, a strong Modi critic, to contest the next Lok Sabha elections although he did not name the party or the constituency from which he should take on the BJP.
"A few days ago, Yashwantji had said he will not contest elections. Sir, I want to ask you if good people like you will not contest, then who will? The public wants you to contest," Kejriwal said while addressing a rally here.
The 'Jan Adhikar' rally was organised here to mark the end of a âpadyatra' organised under the leadership of AAP leader Sanjay Singh.
Apart from Sinha, Kejriwal and Singh, BJP MP Shatrughan Sinha was also present at the event.
