On AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal and party MLA Amanatullah Khan's son, BJP candidate from Okhla assembly Manish Chaudhary says, "I saw a video that the son of the MLA was riding a bike without a helmet and with a modified silencer. He also misbehaved with the police when he was stopped, after which his motorcycle was seized.
"Law is equal for everyone and everyone has to follow it. A parent should stop their child when he does anything wrong instead of encouraging it but the MLA here is encouraging his son. The MLA does not seem to be very educated.
"He may not even know the full form or spelling of MLA. The people here are upset with Amanatullah Khan. None of the promises their party made have been fulfilled. That is why he is frustrated and misbehaving with people and the media. Our fight is not with AAP, it may be with Owaisi's party."
