Arvind Kejriwal may have travelled by suburban train and autorickshaw in Mumbai to reinforce his aam aadmi image, but there are plenty of reminders on the Internet about his khaas aadmi status. Kejriwal thought his travel by a chartered flight from Jaipur to Delhi could be explained away by the fact that a media house paid for it. The media group needed him to reach its conclave on time since he was a scheduled speaker, and Kejriwal told them that no commercial flights were available at that hour. What he may not have bargained for is that some investigative netizens would expose his bluff. There have been several tweets providing a list of commercial flights from Jaipur to Delhi which Kejriwal could have easily taken if he had wanted to. Earlier, in Jaipur, his host had sent a Mercedes to receive him at the airport. Pictures of the Mercedes were promptly put up on the Net. In Gujarat, he travelled in an impressive cavalcade, far from the modest WagonR he uses in Delhi. The Delhi Police, meanwhile, has been happy to confirm that Kejriwal enjoys Z security, with 22 personnel guarding him round the clock. Photographs of his Tilak Lane government bungalow with three bedrooms and two servant quarters, in which Kejriwal continues to stay, also chip away at his common man pretensions.
