Bittu, who is the Minister of State for Railways, said the whole thing on last Sunday where she labelled Gandhi as the ‘number one terrorist’ pointing to those manufacturing bombs as supporting him. This statement has caused controversy, with the Congress leaders protesting against Bittu’s words, calling her words illogical and unsubstantiated.

In another a political move up, the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is scheduled to visit campaigning in Haryana today. Kejriwal’s visit is aimed at strengthening AAP’s base in Haryana, which is getting prepared for the assembly elections while extending party’s influence beyond Delhi and Punjab.
