Kejriwal accused him of corruption in construction of irrigation dams. He said that Gadkari was illegally favoured by Maharashtra government in allocation of farm land and also alleged quid pro quo with the ruling political party in this land allotment.
The BJP is planning to counter Kejriwal’s allegations against Gadkari at a press conference in the evening.
