Ever since his many TV appearances wearing a muffler, Arvind Kejriwal and muffler have become synonymous. In fact AAP supporters even coined a phrase “MufflerMan” for him, and trended it on Twitter for quite some time. Now Twitter users are wondering whether Kejriwal’s muffler protects him from cold or is it only for the optics.
Twitter user @rishibagree shows us this pic, in which Arvind Kejriwal, Sanjay Singh and Vishal Dadlani are sitting for a meeting, along with others. In this pic, he points out, that while all three of them are sitting together, Kejriwal needs a Muffler all around his head, and a sweater to protect him from the biting cold, Sanjay Singh is comfortable with a sweater, while Vishal Dadlani doesn’t need either and is sitting in a plain T-Shirt. Either atmospheric temperature changes with position or Kejriwal has a very low tolerance to cold while Dadlani, who lives mostly in Mumbai is more resistant to cooler climates
Another Twitter user @Durgeshrai2013 has posted another picture of Kejriwal, this time from an interview with Barkha Dutt. He notes that while Barkha Dutt is comfortable in her normal Salwar-Kameez, Kejriwal needs his muffler and sweater to sit just 1 metre infront of her. Did somebody keep a window open next to Kejriwal? We must rebuke Barkha for this inhospitable treatment meted out to poor Mr Kejriwal
