Kejriwal unmasked, he dialed wrong number by lying against Jaitley, will go to jail: BJP
July 12, 2016
New Delhi: BJP today claimed that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind kejriwal has been “unmasked” and will go to jail for “defaming” Finance Minister Arun Jaitley after the Delhi High Court framed issues against Kejriwal and other AAP leaders in a suit filed by Jaitley seeking 10 crore damages.
Jaitley has also filed a criminal case against the AAP chief over his corruption charges against him in DDCA affairs.
The party also termed Kejriwal’s claim in the court that he had not said anything defamatory against the BJP leader an attempt to take a U-turn, saying he had done the same in previous cases.
“Kejriwal and other AAP leaders dialled the wrong number by targeting Jaitley who enjoys a reputation for probity across party lines. He has been unmasked and we are sure that he will go to jail in the defamation case,” BJP national secretary Shrikant Sharma said.
He also referred to Kejriwal being sent to jail in a defamation case filed by Union minister Nitin Gadkari after he refused to submit bail bond.
The Delhi Chief Minister claims that he fears none and would not apologise but he had apologised in several matters including the fake degree case involving the then Delhi Law Minister Jitender Singh Tomar, he said.
“He used to speak about transparency and probity. Now he is standing in support of corruption,” he alleged.
