While the world was busy celebrating Christmas on December 25, Congress treasurer Ajay Maken was holding a press conference in New Delhi. A former Union minister known for his proximity to the Gandhi family, Maken launched into a scathing critique of Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal. Calling the former Delhi chief minister “anti-national”, he blamed him for the worsening political and administrative situation in the national capital. “If there’s one word for Kejriwal,” Maken declared, “it’s Farziwal (fraud).”
