ED a political tool: AAP hits out at BJP in Delhi
Hindustan TimesAhead of the Lok Sabha elections, the Aam Aadmi Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party continued to spar over the Delhi excise policy case, with AAP leaders on Tuesday accusing the BJP of conspiring to get chief minister Arvind Kejriwal arrested before the polls. “ED, which has become a political weapon of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP, has alleged that AAP and Kejriwal took bribes of ₹100 crore and indulged in corruption. Since the Supreme Court has dismissed ED’s allegations due to lack of evidence, the only reason for reiterating these accusations is to arrest Kejriwal before the Lok Sabha elections,” Atishi said during the press conference on Tuesday morning. In another press conference, Rai said the BJP’s conspiracies have increased ever since Kejriwal was granted bail by a local court.
