Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Saturday that he had been prevented from visiting a dispensary in Haryana by the BJP government in that State.
Mr. Kejriwal, the Aam Aadmi Party national convenor, had on November 2 written to Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar asking him to visit a mohalla clinic set up by the AAP government in Delhi, while he expressed interest in visiting a Haryana government dispensary. Receiving no response from Mr. Khattar, the Delhi Chief Minister was on his way to a dispensary in Haryana when he alleged he was stopped.
In a tweet, Mr. Kejriwal asked: "...How can anyone by stopped like this? What is Mr. Khattar afraid of?"
He followed that up with another tweet saying that the BJP government had allowed Pakistani investigators to come after the Pathankot attack, but, he, on invitation from the public, was being prevented from visiting a dispensary in his own country.
Panipat Superintendent of Police Manbir Singh, however, denied that the AAP leader was stopped and added that he was at a government guest house of his own accord.
In a recorded phone call campaign launched this week, Mr. Kejriwal, who is from Haryana, is asking the people to vote for AAP in the 2019 Assembly elections if they want education and healthcare to improve, like his government has done in Delhi.
