The Aam Aadmi Party today alleged that the Swati Maliwal assault case is a BJP conspiracy. Addressing the media in New Delhi, Senior party leader and Delhi Minister Atishi said Anti- the Corruption Bureau has filed a case against Swati Maliwal in the illegal recruitment of contractual employees in the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) and BJP is using it to conspire against AAP.
Ms Atishi also accused Ms Maliwal of presenting wrong facts in this case. Referring to a video of Maliwal walking out of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence, Ms Atishi said Ms Maliwal can be seen threatening the police and going out of the CM’s residence comfortably.
Meanwhile, the BJP has denied the allegations. Party National Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said that it has become Aam Aadmi Party’s idea and etiquette to indulge in this kind of modus operandi. He also alleged that Aam Aadmi Party is deeply engaged in corruption, misconduct and disinformation and it is brazenly defending the accused after having accepted the incident partially before.
