Second Attack on Arvind Kejriwal
Diggy Chacha's second target was anti-graft activist, Arvind Kejriwal. He said, "Kejriwal is still a government employee. Government has not accepted his resignation, pending from 2004 as we thought he was the best asset serving for India. Why did he require to resign? Now even 6th pay commission is applied he can get salary from retrospective effect. He is still an officer of Indian Revenue Service (IRS). Even Annaji's resignation was not accepted by Army. We require his service more on border. I am here to look after internal matters so why does he need to cry and shout."
Diggy Chacha made few questions to reporters checking their knowledge about laws for Indian government employees "Has a government employee right to open campaigning? Has he the right to collect donation? If 40 lakh employees cannot do it, how can he (Kejrewal) do it", Singh said, asking as an IRS officer how many scam has he brought out.
Throwing the ball in the court of opposition, he said, "The government has respected Team Anna and invited them to the drafting committee but it was opposition which had problem with it, not us."
He said, "I don't understand why do these (Team Anna) people try to take credit from government's clean up policies." He added "The credit from strong laws against money laundering goes to Manmohan Singh government and the result is that Madhu Koda is not getting bail in the last 3 years."
Asking him about the emergence of Manish Tewari as his strong competitor in making non-sense statements, he gave a mischievous smile and said "He can't be my competitor. Copying me does not make anybody great."
