Navneet Kumar was the centre of attention in New Kondli on Tuesday afternoon. The 34-year-old autorickshaw driver was surrounded by TV reporters after he hosted Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal for lunch at his home. Kumar animatedly described the menu: dal, paneer and various other vegetables that his wife cooked for the ex-CM.

An ardent AAP supporter — he wears a yellow gamcha around his neck and has a poster of Kejriwal behind his rickshaw — Kumar said the lunch came about after he and 100 other autorickshaw drivers attended a meeting over tea with the AAP convener on Monday.

“It was a sudden plan,” Kumar told The Indian Express. “One of my friends was going (for the meeting) and he asked me to come along with him. During the meeting, we invited him (Kejriwal) to come for lunch because I had heard that he had gone to have lunch in Gujarat at an auto wallah’s house,” said Kumar.

On Tuesday, in the run-up to the Delhi Assembly polls, Kejriwal promised several welfare measures for autorickshaw drivers including life insurance cover of up to Rs 10 lakh, Rs 5 lakh accident insurance policy, and relaunching the ‘Poochh-O App’.
