The Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday criticised Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over what its leaders alleged was his 'mannerless' posture during a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and asked whether this is how a chief minister should behave at an important meeting.

Tweeting a video of Modi's interaction with chief ministers, BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya said, 'Arvind Kejriwal continues to disgrace himself with uncouth mannerism.'

In the video, Kejriwal was seen sitting in a relaxed manner with his hands behind his head.

Asking whether this is how a chief minister should behave at an important meeting, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla wondered if Kejriwal was 'bored or mannerless or both'.

Taking on Kejriwal, Delhi BJP media head Naveen Kumar Jindal charged, 'This man does not have manners to sit and talk in front of the prime minister. What a shameless man he is.'

The prime minister's virtual meeting with chief ministers was convened to discuss the current COVID-19 situation in the country.
