Hug and tell

Business Standard New Delhi
Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad is angry with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for daring the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government at the Centre to arrest Congress President Sonia Gandhi and other party leaders named in the Italian court order on the AgustaWestland scam.

When Prasad was reminded that he had hugged Kejriwal during the oath-taking ceremony of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar last year, he was unapologetic: The Delhi CM wasn't really a "heroine", so why would he forcibly hug him, he asked.

Incidentally, after Kejriwal was criticised for embracing Prasad, who was convicted in a fodder scam case, the Delhi CM had defended his anti-graft credentials saying it was the RJD chief who had "pulled"' and "hugged him".
