Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s drive against corruption was dealt a serious blow, when he lost his grey colored muffler in the pandemonium at the Janata Darbar on Saturday. Arvind termed the theft as an insult to a common man struggling against the wrath of the chilling Delhi winter.

“Just like Karunanidhi loves his sunglasses and Mulayam Singh loves his Secular skull cap, Arvind loved his muffler. It was his muffler that protected him, when he caught cold and was running a fever of 102 degrees, with loose motions. I would term this act as an attack on Kejriwal’s life,” said Digvijay Singh Kumar Vishwas.

“Arvind was peacefully listening to the grievances of some twenty thousand people outside the Delhi secretariat. Things were moving perfectly and Arvind would have easily heard everybody’s grievance by 2015 noon. However, some rowdy men, affiliated to the BJP, rushed to Arvind’s table, waving their water bills, and before we could blink, slipped away with his muffler. Arvind was so devastated that he called off the Janata Darbar,” said AAP leader Manish Sisodia.

Congress spokesperson Manish Tiwari said, “This is not the first time that the BJP has attacked these poor AAP members. Just the other day, Rakhi Birla was attacked by the youth brigade of the BJP for no reason. Our sources have informed us that this attack is a high level holistic conspiracy and was organized by a lady named Kiran who did it all on the behest of someone named Saheb. I demand a CBI inquiry into this terrible event.”

Meanwhile, the “Kejri muffler-Gandhi cap Emirates air-hostess” look has debuted on the fashion ramp-walk as part of Ritu Beri’s power dressing collection. “The Kejri muffler now connotes power,” fashion designer Ritu Beri said, “while embodying simple living coupled with the very highest thinking. It is to the 2010s what the Nehru Jacket was to the 50s.”
