Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday slammed Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley for what it called "shielding" PPCC president Capt Amarinder Singh in his Swiss bank account case.
In a statement here, AAP campaign committee chairman, Bhagwant Mann said that Jaitely was soft peddling on Capt Amarinder Singh and making accusations against him in election speeches for the sake of mock publicity. He said that on one hand Jaitely was claiming that Central Government has evidence of Swiss bank accounts of Amarinder and on the hand not taking any action.
"If Jaitley has the evidence then who stopped him from arresting himIJ Even AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal has given account numbers of Capt Amarinder in Swiss bank," Mann added.
Mann said that BJP, SAD and Congress are together against AAP but protecting leaders of each other. He said that BJP was not keen to proceed against Capt Amarinder.
The AAP leader said that BJP president Amit Shah who addressed rally in Amritsar on Monday, didn’t even once mentioned the name of Capt Amarinder Singh and corruption cases against him and dedicated his whole speech to Arvind Kejriwal. He said Prime Minister Narender Modi too made Kejriwal and AAP target in last two rallies in Punjab.
