Arvind Kejriwal said the BJP’s accusations of corruption against the AAP are all false.
New Delhi:
The BJP has not been able to prove a single corruption charge against any Aam Aadmi Party leader despite filing nearly 200 cases through various central agencies it controls, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said at an NDTV townhall on Thursday.
“They filed more nearly 200 cases against AAP leaders. AAP leaders have been cleared in over 150 cases and the rest are pending. Agencies get pulled up by courts on a daily basis for filing such rubbish cases,” he said.
The Chief Minister was responding to the BJP’s accusations against AAP ahead of elections in Gujarat and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) next week.
“In the last five years, the Delhi government has given Rs 1 lakh crore to MCD. Please ask the BJP where it all went. All gone. They are so greedy and corrupt that they ate up all of it. No party is more corrupt than the BJP,” Mr Kejriwal said.
Asked about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s claim of there not being a single corruption charge against his government, Mr Kejriwal said, “Give me control of the CBI, ED (Enforcement Directorate) for one day, half of BJP will be in jail.”
