Kejriwal questions NaMo

Continuing his offensive against BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal has demanded that Narendra Modi make his election expenses and names of campaign donors public. He also sought to know if Modi would bring down the gas prices if he came to power.
In a letter to the Gujarat CM, Kejriwal questioned the BJP leader’s silence on the gas price issue. Kejriwal said that he would also write to Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on the issue.
 The AAP-led Delhi government had filed a FIR under the Prevention of Corruption Act earlier this month against former union minister Murli Deora, oil minister Veerappa Moily and Reliance chief Mukesh Ambani.
Kejriwal said he had three questions for Modi. The first one was, “You are a PM candidate, but why are you still quiet over the issue. A common man wants to know whether if your party forms government and you become the PM, would you bring down the gas price from 8 dollars per unit to 4 dollars?”
“What are your links with Mukesh Ambani and who was funding Modi’s election campaign,’’ Kejriwal asked.
 The AAP leader also sought to know how Parimal Nathwani, the group president of the Mukesh Ambani companies, was recently elected to Rajya Sabha with Modi’s help.
“This creates suspicion over your relations with Mukesh Ambani. What is your relation with Mukesh Ambani?” the letter added.
Kejriwal alleged that the UPA government is being run by Mukesh Ambani and if Modi comes to power, would his government be also run by the Reliance Industries chairman? he asked. “You in your speeches talk about bringing back the money from Swiss banks, but the Ambani brothers have money in these banks. If you have good relations with the Ambanis and if they fund you, then would you bring back the black money?” he asked.
The former Delhi chief minister questioned the election funding of the BJP and the Congress. “Helicopters and private jets are being used whenever you and Rahul Gandhi travel within the country and abroad. As per the news reports, the aircraft services you and Rahul Gandhi use are free of cost. Spending in your election rallies are worth crores of rupees. Some people say Mukesh Ambani funds you. Is that true?” he said.
