CHANDIGARH: The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) today said expose by state leaders of AAP had proved that Delhi chief minister and AAP Covener Arvind Kejriwal and his coterie was minting money by selling party tickets for the forthcoming assembly elections. It demanded the Election Commission take cognizance of these corrupt activity and direct registration of an appropriate case in the matter.
In a statement here, SAD Spokesman Dr. Daljit Singh Cheema said AAP and Kejriwal had been thoroughly exposed with its senior leaders themselves giving proof of party tickets being sold in 56 constituencies. He said Kejriwal was the first politician who had officially criminalized the election system by openly soliciting bribes. He also pointed out that it was only yesterday that the party had distributed pamphlets asking people to take money from other parties but vote for it.
Dr. Cheema said it was now clear that Kejriwal was enriching himself by selling party tickets. He said with AAP following the same model everywhere the same corrupt activities must be going on also in other States going to the polls. “Only a high level independent inquiry can uncover the scope of this scam which runs into crores of rupees”.
The SAD leader also asserted that Kejriwal was simultaneously also resorting to dirty politics by misusing technology to level false and mischievous allegations against his political opponents. He said Kejriwal knew that he had nothing to show to people in Punjab with his Delhi model being a complete flop show. “This is why he is now banking on big money bags to win the assembly election. However he is destined to fail miserably as Punjabis have seen through his web of lies and deceit and will never repose trust in him again”.
