Twitterati troll Kejriwal for 'sleeping' during Modi's I-Day speech
New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is a twitter favourite when it comes to being trolled, so on Monday, when he was captured sleeping during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Independence Day speech at Red Fort, twitter users jumped at the opportunity to poke fun at the Aam Aadmi Party chief.
Following are some of the tweets:

CM Kejriwal wasn't sleeping during Independence day program, he was just displaying that how free we are to do anything, anywhere. Respect

Kejriwal: yeh lo kaan mein ruyi daal lo. chalo wahin soyenge.

AAP leaders were quick to come to Kejriwal’s defence and pointed out that top BJP leaders Arun Jaitley and Manohar Parrikar were also caught sleeping during the event.
“Why media is so biased? Only targets AAP/Kejriwal? Jaitley/Parrikar sleeping, media not showing ? Why ? Why?,” AAP leader Ashutosh tweeted.

Some clever Twitter users used the tweet as an admission by the AAP that their leader was indeed sleeping during the Prime Minister’s speech.
