It’s all about Narendra Modi versus Arvind Kejriwal in Indian politics this weekend. [caption id=“attachment_2847878” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal. PTI[/caption] If the awkward meeting between the two at the 11th inter-state council meeting in New Delhi on Saturday was not enough to demonstrate the underlying rivalry between them, Delhi chief minister Kejriwal’s interactive session on Sunday definitely escalated the tension between these two political leaders. In his interactive session, titled ‘Talk to AK’, Kejriwal took to social media, answered phone calls and appeared on video sessions to address people’s questions. PM Modi himself addresses the nation through his monthly radio programme, Mann Ki Baat. On Sunday, Kejriwal alleged that the Centre has been hampering the progress of Delhi by turning various institutions like the anti-corruption board against the AAP government. “The Centre has done various unconstitutional things to hamper the progress done by Delhi government,” he said. The Delhi chief minister also criticised the Modi government on other fronts.
The fact that filing an FIR is impossible for the common man but the Central Govt rains FIR's on us is evident of vendetta #TalkToAK

We are not playing the victim card but Delhi is a victim of the narrow politics of the Central Govt. @ArvindKejriwal LIVE #TalkToAK

Naturally, social media erupted, with Kejriwal’s interaction drawing a barrage of responses, including many by politicians themselves. We think Congress leader Digvijaya Singh’s creative (and creepy) poem deserves a special mention.
बेबी को बेस पसंद है ........

अभिषेक को ऐश पसन्द है......
केजरी को क्लेश पसंद है..........
मोदी को विदेश पसंद है.....!!!!
Dharam
Here are the other reactions to the Modi-Kejriwal tussle and ‘Talk to AK’:
Instead of trying to solve the issues of Delhi, Kejriwal continues publicity gimmicks. Delhi is under crisis like never before. #TalkToAK

Warmth + respect vs. lack there of.

For citizens too, this is the difference between #TalkToAK vs. Mann ki Baat. https://t.co/Jqkcl6zGbT
Modi's Man Ki Baat is one sided communication. With Kejriwal it's two way communication. A leader who listens - JANTA ka CM. #TalkToAK
