Kejriwal's Blue Wagon R banter wins internet in podcast appearance
There is a man named Arvind Kejriwal who used to be the Chief Minister of Delhi, a big city in India.
He used to drive a simple blue car called a Maruti Suzuki Wagon R. Many important leaders ride in very expensive cars, but people loved that this leader drove a simple one.
He went on a fun video podcast with a host named Sarthak Goswami.
On the show, they looked at funny memes about his car and he answered questions about it.
He said the car was given to his party as a donation by supporters.
After his party won its first election in 2013, party members kept using the car.
After 2015, he switched to the official government car instead.
People on the internet found his answers funny and said he is very humble.
He also said that he likes eating mangoes.
AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal appeared on Sarthak Goswami's podcast, released on YouTube on 9 August, in a viral meme-review episode where he discussed his iconic blue Wagon R.
Kejriwal said the Wagon R was used after AAP's first election but was later condemned; after 2015 he started using the official vehicle and AAP members used the car.
Kejriwal revealed the blue Wagon R was received as part of a party donation and quipped that he likes eating mangoes.
A viral meme depicted Kejriwal arriving in a Blue Wagon R while leaders like Rahul Gandhi and PM Modi use expensive cars such as Land Rover.
Kejriwal also alleged that Meta restricted his Instagram and Facebook accounts, claiming pressure from the Centre; access has since been restored.
