#AAPWalksTheTalk top Twitter trend as Arvind Kejriwal sacks Asim Ahmed Khan

On Friday, Delhi CM and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal sacked Delhi Food Minister Asim Ahmed Khan on charges of corruption. Khan had allegedly demanded a bribe of Rs 6 lakh from a builder. Kejriwal also recommended a CBI probe into the case.

Immediately, #AAPWalksTheTalk began to trend on Twitter, as users expressed delight that AAP had been true to its word of rooting out corruption. However, there were some critical and mocking responses as well:

Suri Singh made a pertinent point:

If ministers are sacked even before the expose with such speed, Arnab would soon be out of job. 15 episodes washed out :) #AAPWalksTheTalk

While Rupin was full of praise, she admits she doesn't understand politics:

Don't understand much of politics but I've never heard of something like this. Well done @ArvindKejriwal #AAPWalksTheTalk

But Amu Virk is an out-and-out AAP fan:

What Arvind has done today- has never been done ever... Like ever anywhere! #AAPWalksTheTalk

Kunwar alleged 'drama'. As many have done before.

#AAPWalksTheTalk When you see this guy sacking his minister in a press conference, means High pitched Drama is on! Why not Sisodia then?

'Lokmanya Tilak' had a point:

#AAPWalksTheTalk. BJP dubs it a stunt, saying Kejriwal was forced to act. Fact is BJP's high pedestal of Moral standards is gone. Poooffff.

Akshay had an interesting question for all of us:

So if a party contains corrupt leaders and it's CM sacks one of them, It becomes a honest party? #AAPWalksTheTalk

— Akshay Punamiya (@ampunamiya) October 9, 2015

Salman Siddique's potent argument:

Modi ji doing rock concert style speech in US is development while AK sacking minister on TV is drama?!?! #AAPWalksTheTalk

— Salman Siddiqui (@NotThatSalman) October 9, 2015

Rehan backed Salman.

If u term rightful deed as nautanki then u truely deserve that PM doing rock concerts on foreign land and shaming us. #AAPWalksTheTalk

While BJP fans and 'bhakts' seem to be fighting back, for now the decision is generally being hailed. However, it seems that the Twitter timeline is full of AAP supporters who have held up this decision from Kejriwal as an example of AAP's honesty. But the BJP is asking questions, and another sacked AAP member, Yogendra Yadav has brought up Jitender Singh Tomar.

Asim Ahmed Khan meanwhile has labeled it a 'huge conspiracy' and is ready to make an 'expose' on Saturday. The plot grows thicker.
