Can't aam aadmi Kejriwal fly business class?

Last updated on: December 05, 2014 15:44 IST

From the dusty roads of Delhi and Varanasi to flying business class to Dubai and United States, Arvind Kejriwal's flight to fame has seen his 'well-crafted' image of an Aam Aadmi take a hit in recent times.

There was once a time when the 'mufflerman' made headlines for his preference of a simple lifestyle.

But the former 'anarchic' Delhi chief minister's ratings started rolling down the hill ever since he walked out of power in 49 days. His party was then humiliated in the Lok Sabha polls.

The latest controversy has been triggered by his decision to fly business class to Dubai to attend a felicitation event.

It has drawn strong reaction from the opposition -- read the BJP and the Congress -- which said that his “real face” had been “exposed”.

So, we throw a question at you. Is there anything wrong in Kejriwal flying the business class? Does being an Aam Aadmi mean not flying business class?
