Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde who is engaged in a slanging match with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has attacked him without naming him.
Addressing a meeting at Hingoli in Maharshtra, Shinde said, “When I was in Kherwadi (as a policeman) my leave was cancelled right after my wedding because there were riots. Now because of a ‘veda mukhyamantri’ (Marathi for ‘mad chief minister’) on dharna, I had to cancel the leaves of policemen”.
However, the Home Minister did not name Kejriwal.
The Congress, however, distanced itself from the comment. “I haven’t seen his cooment to give a reaction,” the party’s Randeep Surjewala said.
