"....As if he's PM of Pakistan": Kejriwal attacks Modi at Naidu rally

“One may have voted for any party but after elections, whoever wins and becomes the CM, is the CM of the entire state and not of a particular party. Similarly, when one becomes the PM, then he is the PM of the entire country, not just one party, “Kejriwal said at Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's daylong fast demanding special status for his state here.

New Delhi: Arvind Kejriwal on Monday came down hard at the prime minister over the alleged mistreatment meted out to states being run by governments of opposition parties. “One may have voted for any party but after elections, whoever wins and becomes the CM, is the CM of the entire state and not of a particular party. Similarly, when one becomes the PM, then he is the PM of the entire country, not just one party, “Kejriwal said at Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's daylong fast demanding special status for his state here. “The way PM Modi treats governments of opposition parties in states, he behaves like he is not the PM of India but PM of Pakistan, he added. Naidu's 'Dharma Porata Deeksha' (a day-long protest for justice) began at 8 am and is likely to end at around 8 pm. He will also submit a memorandum to President Ram Nath Kovind on February 12. Those who attended the protest included Manmohan Singh, Congress president Rahul Gandhi, National Congress chairperson Farooq Abdullah, NCP's Majeed Memon, Trinamool Congress' Derek O' Brien, DMK's Tiruchi Siva, Loktantrik Janata Dal's Sharad Yadav and Samajwadi Party founder Mulayam Singh Yadav, reported PTI. Naidu paid tributes to Mahatma Gandhi at Raj Ghat and also to the Ambedkar Statue at the Andhra Pradesh Bhavan before sitting on the hunger strike.
