Taking a dig at the Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s claim, BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia alleged that the AAP leaders are holding press conferences to “spread lies” using parts of the May 6 bail order of the court as Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is scared and worried about his fate since his deputy Manish Sisodia was arrested in the case.
“Court's bail order is not its judgement. Yet, all spokespersons of the Aam Aadmi Party are lying and using the bail border to say that that court held there was no proof of any scam in the case,” Bhatia charged. The court in the May 6 order granted bail to co-accused Rajesh Joshi and Gautam Malhotra in the case and did not acquit them, he said. “When such kind of press conferences are being held, Delhi High Court should take cognizance of it. It is being done only to influence the judiciary and mislead the public. This is matter of contempt of court,” Bhatia added.
The BJP spokesperson also hit out at AAP national convenor Kejriwal alleging that he came into politics with the promise of eradicating corruption but became “a synonym of corruption” himself. “Kejriwal is synonymous with corruption.... He is hardcore dishonest and kingpin of the liquor scam,” Bhatia charged. AAP leaders are holding press conferences and using the court's bail orders to spread lies and mislead people as Kejriwal is “so scared and worried” about his fate since his deputy Sisodia was arrested in the case, he added. “If there is no prima facie case, why Manish Sisodia has not got any relief from the court so far.
The Supreme Court also declined to entertain his plea,” the BJP spokesperson contended. Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva accused Kejriwal of trying to divert attention from the renovation “scam” involving his bungalow, by hoisting the issue of bail granted to two accused in the excise policy case.
With the Delhi court repeatedly denying bail to his former deputy Manish Sisodia and “loss of public image” due t “bungalow scam”, Kejriwal now is trying to create the perception that there is no liquor scam, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva said. “But people want to know if there is no liquor scam then why former deputy chief minister Sisodia is in jail,” he added.
Leader of opposition in Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri also slammed the Kejriwal for misleading the people. “The AAP leaders are using parts of the May 6 bail order of the court has given clean chit to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his government in the excise policy. The court in the May 6 order granted bail to co-accused Rajesh Joshi and Gautam Malhotra in the case and did not acquit them<” he added.
