New Delhi : Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal hit out at Lieutenant Governor (LG) VK Saxena over his remarks on “freebies” and asked him not to “insult the hardworking people” of the national capital. Speaking at a program titled ‘Delhi 2041 – New Master Plan’ organized by the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Saxena said on Wednesday that the people of Delhi have now become “addicted to free things”.
