Assam Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday termed Delhi CM and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal as a “coward” and dared him to speak against him outside the Assembly premises.
Speaking to the media CM Sarma said, ”So far, I haven’t filed any case. Is there any pending against me in the entire country? I wanted to file a defamation case, but Arvind Kejriwal, like a coward, spoke inside the Delhi Assembly. So let him come to Assam on April 2nd and say that there is a case pending against Himanta Biswa Sarma.Repeat what you said in Delhi Assembly in Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma challenges Arvind Kejariwal I will sue him right away.”
”’I challenge him to show a single case against me. Which case is there against me? Let him come on April 2nd and speak against me a single word that I am corrupt and next I am going to file a defamation case. The same thing I have done with Manish…,” he added.
“Arvind Kejriwal is a coward who is hiding behind the veil of immunity in Delhi assembly and uttering white lies,” CM Sarma told reporters.
Kejriwal along with his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann is scheduled to attend their first political rally in Assam on April 2.
