In a sensational claim on Wednesday, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi may get him killed. He also asked Aam Aadmi Party MLAs and volunteers to be ready for "ultimate sacrifice" in the wake of "unprecedented crackdown" by the Bhartiya Janata Party government.
Referring to a series of arrests of AAP MLAs and workers in the last one-and-a-half years, Kejriwal dubbed Modi as the "mastermind" behind the "cycle of oppression" against them and alleged that he was hell bent on "vanquishing" the party.
"I want to tell all the volunteers, MLAs and Ministers that this is a very critical period. You think over it, talk to your families. This is going to get worse in the coming days,” Kejriwal said in a nearly 10 minute long video uploaded on social media websites.

"He (Modi) can go to any extent and may get us killed. He may get me killed as well. Talk to your families and see if you are ready for the ultimate sacrifice. All the MLAs will anyway have to go to jail. If you are ready, then stay with us or if you have weaknesses, then leave," he said.
The social media cracked up after his claim, but not to Kejriwal’s amusement. Twitteratti did not take his claims seriously and many even suggested him to take medical help.
Here are some of the responses from Twitter:
