Lauding former BSF constable Tej Bahadur Yadav for “challenging” Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Varanasi, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday said there is “something in the soil of Haryana”, the State from where the sacked jawan hails.
In a tweet, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener said that in the 2014 general elections too, someone from Haryana — referring to himself — had taken on Mr. Modi in Varanasi. Mr. Yadav was dismissed from service for indiscipline in 2017 after he posted a video complaining about the quality of food served to the troops in the region along the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir.
He was declared as the candidate of the Bahujan Samaj Party, Samajwadi Party and Rashtriya Lok Dal alliance in Uttar Pradesh on Monday.
