Milind Deora tweets pro- Kejriwal video, draws flak from Ajay Maken

Former Delhi assembly speaker Ajay Maken asked Milind Deora to 'leave Congress' and 'then propagate half-baked facts'

New Delhi: Congress leader Milind Deora invited ire from his fellow leader Ajay Maken after posting a video on his Twitter account praising Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal for swearing-in for his third term on Sunday.

Sharing a lesser known & welcome fact — the @ArvindKejriwal-led Delhi Government doubled its revenues to u00e2u0082u00b960,000 crore & maintained a revenue surplus over the last 5 years.

Food for thought: Delhi is now one of India’s most fiscally prudent governments pic.twitter.com/bBFjbfYhoC

This tweet comes after Deora dismissed Congress' Delhi in-charge PC Chacko's statement in which he blamed late party leader and former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit for their performance in the last week’s assembly elections in the national capital.

"Sheila Dikshit ji was a remarkable politician & administrator. During her tenure as Chief Minister, Delhi was transformed and Congress was stronger than ever. Unfortunate to see her being blamed after her death. She dedicated her life to INC India and the people of Delhi," Deora had tweeted, with a snippet of Chacko's statement embedded.
