Kejriwal, who is on a two-day Gujarat visit as part of the AAP‘s campaign for the upcoming Assembly election, addressed a gathering of auto-rickshaw drivers in Ahmedabad in the afternoon.
After his address, an auto-rickshaw driver named Vikram Dantani, a resident of the city’s Ghatlodia area, requested Kejriwal to have dinner at his home.
“I am your fan. In a video I saw on social media, you went to have dinner at the home of an auto driver in Punjab. So, will you come to my home for dinner?” asked Dantani.
Kejriwal readily accepted his invitation, saying “Autowalas of Punjab and Gujarat love me. Should I come today evening at 8 pm?.”
