Aam Admi national convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ruling BJP over inflation, blaming him for the rise in the prices of essential food grains. "Prime Minster Modi's policies have resulted in widespread inflation in the country," he said.

Addressing a rally at Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh, which is due to go to Assembly polls later this year, he said, "If I have done something to bring a smile to people's faces, what's wrong in it? There's widespread inflation everywhere." Continuing to taunt PM Modi over his educational qualifications, the Delhi CM said, "Had this been a government run by qualified people, it would not have undertaken demonetisation under any circumstances."
