NEW DELHI: Delhi BJP MLAs on Thursday reached chief minister Arvind
Kejriwal's residence here to "gift" him five autorickshaws, days after the
AAP supremo had an argument with Gujarat Police personnel after they
tried to stop him from travelling in a three-wheeler.

Kejriwal has a convoy of 27 vehicles but he enacted a drama in Gujarat by

insisting on travelling in an autorickshaw, leader of opposition in Delhi
Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri said outside the chief minister's Flagstaff
Road residence.

During a two-day visit to Gujarat earlier this week, Kejriwal had dinner at
an auto driver's house in Ahmedabad on September 12. He was picked up
from his five-star hotel by the auto driver.

Congratulations!

Taking a swipe at Kejriwal, Bidhuri said, "He has a convoy of 27 vehicles and 200 security personnel have been deployed for
his security and yet he enacted a drama by insisting on travelling in an autorickshaw in Gujarat. So, we are gifting him these
autos to fulfil his wish of travelling in three-wheelers in Delhi."

One autorickshaw will serve as a pilot, one with the tricolour is for the chief minister, another two are for those who will escort
him, and one is for his private secretary, the BJP leader said.
