Meanwhile, Kejriwal also stated that he saw 'Kejriwal Hatao, Delhi Bachao' written across Delhi. "I don't mind. I did not understand why their printer was seized and those people were arrested. That is not good," he added.
The Delhi Chief Minister's remarks came in the wake of posters targeting him surfaced in the national capital, a day after posters against PM Narendra Modi had cropped up.
On Wednesday, Delhi Police arrested several persons for allegedly putting up posters against PM Modi. The posters calling for the ouster of PM Modi with the slogan 'Modi Hatao Desh Bachao' were found pasted in several parts of the city.
The Delhi Chief Minister also hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the incident.
"I don't know why the Prime Minister is so scared. What difference will it make if some people paste the posters? Modi ji is fighting with the printing people and those who paste posters. It does not suit such a powerful Prime Minister of a great country would clash with the printing and the poster-pasting people", CM said.
