Ahead of India Against Corruption (IAC) activist Arvind Kejriwal's rally, his supporters and Congress workers clashed in Farrukhabad. Kejriwal is expected to address a rally to take his anti corruption battle to external Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid's constituency. Members of the Kisan Mahasabha who came from adjacent areas of Sonepat and Panipat, reportedly clashed with Congress workers and also got into a scuffle with the police when it tried to intervene.
While Kejriwal's supporters earlier said Farrukhabad belonged to the common man and not Khurshid, Congress workers said they won't let Kejriwal's rally be successful.
We are all gathering here today. Kejriwal has no following here. He has gathered people from Madhya Pradesh and Haryana. He has no support here in Farrukhabad. This area belongs to Salman Khurshid," said a Congress worker.
With slogans like 'who owns Farrukhabad', activist turned politician Arvind Kejriwal's IAC is taking on Khurshid in his own bastion on charges of corruption. This comes despite a veiled warning from Salman Khurshid against any such move.
