Kejriwal says sorry to Gadkari, Sibal, Majithia; here's what AAP is up to

Arvind Kejriwal

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday tendered an apology to Union Minister Nitin Gadkari following which the two submitted a joint application in Delhi court seeking withdrawal of a defamation case filed by the former.

What more, Kejriwal apologised to Congress leader Kapil Sibal also. Kejriwal had alleged in the past that Kapil Sibal had a conflict in seeking to revise a tax demand on telecom major Vodafone. Last week, the AAP chief had sought forgiveness from Shiromani Akali Dal MLA and general secretary Bikram Singh Majithia for making allegations about his involvement in the drug trade and calling him Punjab's drug lord. Kejriwal's apology letter to Majithia for accusing him of being involved in drugs trade had taken everyone by surprise and had also earned the wrath of the ruling Congress and SAD-BJP leaders.

Compounding his trouble, the party's Punjab president Bhagwant Mann and its co-president Aman Arora had recently resigned from their posts in protest against Kejriwal's apology. Of the 20 AAP MLAs from Punjab, 10 lawmakers along with state unit leaders met Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia at his residence here today where Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was also present.
