Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday asked Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi to “expose” Prime Minister Narendra Modi if he has documents at his disposal. He went on to allege that the Congress and BJP indulge in such a “friendly match” but do not make any disclosures.
“If Rahul Gandhi actually has papers on Modiji’s personal involvement in corruption, then why doesn’t he expose it outside Parliament?”

Mr Kejriwal was reacting to Rahul Gandhi‘s remarks that he wants to present in the Lok Sabha detailed information about “personal corruption” by Prime Minister Modi, but is not being allowed to do so.
On demonetisation, Mr Kejriwal claimed the traders were upset with the BJP.
“The traders of the country are saying BJP will take money from us, vote from us and call us thieves? The real thief dines with the PM,” he tweeted.
AAP leader Ashish Khetan tweeted, “If Rahul Gandhi is not allowed to speak inside the House, then he should speak outside and disclose the information he has about Modiji.”
