Just after Delhi CM and AAP founder Arvind Kejriwal was sworn in his first term, in 2013, he could be seen in a blue Wagon R.

That event had news value due to two reasons. One, that Kejriwal eschewed his official car to ride on the lowly Wagon R, which was touted as the instance of AAP’s quest to banish the VIP culture.

Two, the Wagon R was gifted to AAP by an UK-based software engineer Kundan Sharma. Seen then as sign of AAP’s ability to attract devotees from across the globe who put their money where their heart is.

But now, there is a twist in the tale. Sharma wants his car, and the donations he made to AAP, back!

Disillusioned by the recent shenanigans in the party, Sharma has been proactive in tweeting his disappointment and demanding that AAP return his, and his wife’s, donations and gifts, including the famous blue Wagor R.

The tweet where he demands the return of his car.

The tweets where he ventilates his disillusionment and angst against AAP.

The certificate from AAP which thanks Sharma for his contributions to the “second independent movement”.

Sharma is not finished yet, he questions the infighting in the party, namely the forced ouster of Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan from the Political Affairs Committee and asks why so many “prominent faces” have chosen to leave AAP.

Later in the day, that Sharma went public with his demand that his contributions be returned, AAP leader and Delhi’s deputy chief minister Somnath Bharti tweeted back asking for a meeting with the now disgruntled benefactor.

No response from Sharma yet. Do watch this space to see what twists and turns the blue Wagon R takes.
