Kejriwal was slated to address a public gathering during the 'Jijau Janmotsav Sohla' to be held at Sindhkhed Raja in this district of Vidarbha.
"Earlier, Kejriwal was to have a 'darshan' of Jijamata on January 12. However, a public gathering to be addressed by him was scheduled at a particular place in Sindhkhed Raja and the permission to hold it was rejected by the police," Superintendent of Police Sushil Kumar Meena told PTI.
Jijabai or Jijau is the mother of 17th century Maratha warrior king Chhatrapati Shivaji and a function to mark her birth anniversary is held every year at Sidhkhed Raja.
The event is organised every year on January 11 and 12 and lakhs of people throng to Sidhkhed Raja for a 'darshan' of Jijau.
