Gujarat Polls: Arvind Kejriwal claims AAP candidate from Surat East 'missing'
In what would lead to a political firestorm in the poll-bound state, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday claimed his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate from Gujarat's Surat (East) went missing.
Kejriwal took to Twitter to claim Kanchan Jariwala and his family have been missing since Tuesday.
He has also raised questions on whether Jariwala and his family have been kidnapped or not, aiming at the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The AAP supremo tweeted, "Our candidate from Surat (East), Kanchan Jariwala, and his family missing since yesterday.
"First, BJP tried to get his nomination rejected. But his nomination was accepted. Later, he was being pressurised to withdraw his nomination. "Has he been kidnapped?"
