[Gulf News] Section of Indian media wants to ‘finish’ AAP, says Kejriwal

Anti-corruption crusader Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said Indian media wanted to “finish” his Aam Aadmi Party which has emerged as the main challenger to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the forthcoming assembly elections in Delhi.

On a two-day visit to Dubai to meet his supporters and receive the ‘award of Asia’s most inspiring and young social changemaker at World Brands Summit’, Kejriwal addressed a series of meetings on Friday evening. “It seems a section of Indian media wants to finish AAP,” he told Gulf News, adding, “there are some good journalists too.”

His statement came a day after news media and politicians attacked him for travelling in business class on a flight to Dubai. His political opponents and media accused Kejriwal of “double standards” when he flew business class while claiming to represent the Aam Aadmi or common man. “Is it a crime to fly business class,” he asked.
