BJP leader Arun Jaitley today launched a sharp attack on Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) terming it as a “party of pathological liars” and alleging it creates falsehood and then convinces itself of its truth.
Jaitley’s attack came on a day when AAP supporters protested outside his residence for allegedly trying to topple its government in Delhi by attempting to bribe its MlA.
“I am convinced that AAP is a party of pathological liars. They create a falsehood and then convince themselves of its truth,” he said in an article.
He said he had rubbished the allegations made by AAP on Monday after some “irresponsible” statements made by AAP leaders without any supporting evidence while dragging his name along with that of Narendra Modi in an “unnecessary” controversy.
Jaitley also hit out at AICC General Secretary Shakeel Ahmed for making a statement about the incident of alleged bribe an hour before AAP MlA Madan lal’s Press conference. “The absurdity of his claim is evident. The facts speak for themselves. But AAP appears to be creating a falsehood, convince itself of its truth and keep pursuing the matter even if it is absurd and false on the face of it,” he said. Taking on Madan lal who made the allegations, he said neither him nor Narendra Modi is aware of who this MlA is. He said while lal claimed of being called on December 7, 2013 with an offer to meet him, he does not even know the name of the person who telephoned him or his number.
