In a series of tweets the Aam Aadmi Party leader said, “Utterly shameful. Do people want their PM to model for pvt cos? Tomo, if these cos do wrongdoings, who will act against them? Paytm biggest beneficiary of PM’s announcement. Next day PM appears in its ads. Whats the deal, Mr PM?

Such is the rivalry Delhi chief minister maintains with Modi. Lashing out at Prime Minister Modi, Kejriwal said this move was taken keeping Uttar Pradesh polls in mind. He also said demonetization is causing inconvenience to the common people and introducing Rs 2,000 note will not curb corruption at all.
