A throwback picture of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal celebrating Holi when he was a student at IIT-Kharagpur is viral on Twitter. The image, clicked sometime around 1986, was shared by his batchmate Rajeev Saraf, who is now an entrepreneur.
In the picture, Mr Kejriwal was seen marching along with a group of students on Holi. However, it was hard to spot Mr Kejriwal, the strapping teenager who was dressed in brown trousers and a half selves shirt in the pic, had it not been for the chief minister himself unravelling the puzzle.
It was only after a journalist put the question to Mr Kejriwal about the picture that the Chief Minister responded. Mr Kejriwal said he was the one in the front, wearing brown trousers.
However, the minister was soon flooded with responses from Twitter users.
An alumnus of IIT-Kharagpur, Mr Kejriwal completed his B. Tech in mechanical engineering in 1989. He was selected for the Indian Revenue Service in 1993. He is the current and seventh Chief Minister of Delhi since February 2015. Before joining active politics, he worked in the Indian Revenue Service as a Joint Commissioner of Income Tax in New Delhi.
He was one of the politicians who decided not to celebrate Holi on Thursday as a mark of respect to the CRPF soldiers who were killed in the Pulwama terror attack on February 14.
