Accusing Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of hurting the sentiments of Delhiites, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Friday said that the ‘bubble around it has ruptured’ in the wake of a sting operation purportedly showing its senior leaders raising funds through illegal means.
She also said that when the AAP was created, they touched the emotions and feelings of the people, and their talks reflected what people felt. But, as it appears now, that was really a self-certification and today, their face has totally changed. “They influenced people in such a way that everyone started believing that they will really change ways, thoughts and means of the system, but they are exposed now. So now, time will see what happens next,” the Chief Minister said, at an interaction at the Indian Women Press Corps.
She rejected the AAP as a serious contender in the electoral battle and said the BJP is the Congress’ main opponent in the polls. “The BJP is an established party and so that’s our main contender. The Aam Aadmi Party....well, the less said about it, the better,” she added.
