Everyone knows whose intentions are false."In his reply, Kejriwal said that since he has announced to give Rs 1,000 per month to the women of Punjab, Channi has been abusing him."He is referring me as the person who wears cheap clothes and of black complexion," the AAP supremo said, adding: "My complexion is black.
