"Kejriwal ji has already lost the election, and it’s not just his loss, but the loss of his lies, deceit, and corruption. Kejriwal ji, your place in politics is over. If you move to cinema, you might be able to beat good actors with your innocent style of acting. Kejriwal has cheated the poor people of Delhi," he said.
