Kejriwal lacks political acumen: Yogendra Yadav

Former Aam Admi Party leader Yogendra Yadav said Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal lacks political acumen to confront the Centre on the issue of full statehood status for Delhi.

Yadav along with Professor Anand Kumar addressed the media ahead of their their day-long 'Swaraj Samvad' convention. Commenting on the ongoing tussle between the AAP chief and Lt Governor Najeeb Jung, Yadav said Kejriwal and his government should handle the situation tactfully with patience.

He said if such activities continue, it is doubtful that people of Delhi would ever get status of full statehood even in distant future. Yadav on the occasion defended the Kejriwal Government on reneging from poll promises and going 'slow' with plans.

“We don't see any harm in going slow. You can create headlines by taking speedy decisions without giving too much thought. This government (AAP) came to power with thumping mandate and it should be given some more time,” said Yadav. Chalking out roadmap of the Swaraj Abhiyan, Yadav and Kumar announced to hold kisan rallies across the country in coming weeks.
