Kejriwal's Gandhigiri! Offers flowers to man who slapped him

Touched by Kejriwal's gesture, the autorickshaw driver described Kejriwal as "God" and said he made a "mistake" by attacking the former Chief Minister.

"He organized a 'janta darbar', I also went in it but could not see him. I tried hard to meet him, my entire day was wasted. I thought I could never meet him again and then I got to know that BJP may form government. Then nothing could be done," Lali said

"I have committed a mistake. He is God for me. I did it because he left the government after some days. Government is not just for the Lok Pal bill. There are other important issues also," said Lali.

On Tuesday, Lali had first garlanded Kejriwal and then slapped him hard, leaving him with a swollen eye.

"I forgave him," Kejriwal said after meeting 38-year-old Lali at his residence in Aman Vihar area of Outer Delhi.

In a surprise move ahead of the polling day, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal visited the autorickshaw driver who had slapped him at a roadshow in North-West Delhi and said he has "forgiven" the attacker.
