Kejriwal did not participate in 'Pran Pratishtha' event
The AAP convener was invited to the January 22 consecration ceremony at the temple but had said that he wanted to visit the temple later with his parents, wife and children.
"I received a letter in which I was told that some people would come to me to formally invite me to the consecration ceremony but to date, nobody comes. However, It hardly matters. I was told only one person is allowed to visit but I want to go there with my family members. I will surely visit with my wife, children and parents but after January 22," he added.
