‘AAP is leaderless like the ISIS; it’s a party of political rejects, radicals’

Hindustan Times  

In Punjab, the monsoon has brought with it a cloudburst of political controversies.

We didn’t even touch Capt Amarinder Singh who, as chief minister, had slapped false cases against us. If we intended to target the AAP, we would fix Kejriwal’s right hand man like Sanjay Singh or Manish Sisodia.
