‘Matter of pride’: After Arvind Kejriwal’s ‘who are you’ remark, PM Modi shares post praising Nitin Nabin

Published by Parlour News

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday shared a post about Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Nitin Nabin, detailing his journey from a student to becoming a legislator. He did not name anyone, but it was seen as a rebuff to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal after he made a disparaging remark about Nabin. In December 2025, PM Modi praised him for having distinguished himself as a hardworking worker when Nabin was appointed as the BJP’s working president. (File Image) “This simplicity and straightforwardness are a matter of pride for every BJP worker…” Modi said, sharing the post of Piyush Padmakar, an old associate of Nabin. Padmakar wrote the post on Sunday about Nabin’s humility and how he lived frugally as a student despite his father being a legislator in Bihar. “…Even then, Nitin was the most disciplined and sociable among the four friends. If there were fights among us, it was Nitin who would resolve them,” Padmkar wrote. ALSO READ | Parvesh Verma’s ‘remember me?’ retort to Arvind Kejriwal’s ‘who are you’ remark …

Delhi political row over Arvind Kejriwal’s new bungalow intensifies

Published by Webster

The BJP has dubbed the new bungalow allotted to Arvind Kejriwal as “Sheesh Mahal 2”, renewing its accusations against the AAP chief for allegedly spending a bombshell for renovating his house. A day after Kejriwal walked into his new home, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Parvesh Verma released an apparent layout and images of the new accommodation, alleging that “private money” was used for the superior quality amenities in that house. “The image is fake and downloaded from ‘Pinterest’,” the AAP hit back. “After he was forced out of Sheesh Mahal by Dhurandhar voters of Delhi, he shifted to Punjab, where he grabbed a bungalow, and now he has prepared Sheesh Mahal 2 at Lodhi Estate,” Verma said.
