New Delhi, Feb 21, 2014 : Former Delhi chief minister andAAP leader Arvind Kejriwal has written a letter to Narendra Modi asking the Gujarat chief minister to clear his stand on the issue of gas pricing.

Addressing a press conference here, Arvind Kejriwal once again reiterated his charge that RIL chief Mukesh Ambani was being paid much more for gas than the prices decided earlier and questioned Modi’s silence on the issue.

 

In the letter, Kejriwal writes about the FIR lodged against Mukesh Ambani by his government on the issue of gas pricing and questions why both the BJPand Congress opposed this move.

Citing BJP’s support to Rajya Sabha member Parimal Nathvani, who is group president in Reliance, Kejriwal writes that this raises doubts in the minds of people about BJP’s relations with Mukesh Ambani.

The AAP leader said that both Modi and Rahul Gandhi are using helicopters and private planes for their travel in India and abroad. "Who are the owners of these helicopters and private planes? Kejriwal asked.

Do you use these helicopters for free or do you pay for them? he asks.

Kejriwal also said that Modi should make public the amount of money being spent on his rallies and the source of these funds.

According to reports, it is being said that Mukesh Ambani is funding your rallies, Kejriwal said, asking Modi to clarify if it is true.

Kejriwal plans to write a similar letter to Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi.

The AAP leader also announced to distribute 10 crore copies of his letter across the country.
