Following the social media uproar, we checked if Arvind Kejriwal is indeed following @Esmee4Keeps. However, at the time of writing this report, Kejriwal’s following list had no such account. We cannot confirm if Kejriwal was indeed following the said account as alleged by social media users or he unfollowed it after the online furore.
