New Delhi [India], June 20 : Delhi assembly leader of opposition Atishi slammed the Bhartiya Janata Party following AAP leader Manish Sisodia's appearance before the Anti-Corruption Bureau in connection with the classroom scam.
Atishi said that ACB summoned Manish Sisodia in the "fake" classroom scam, and it is yet another addition to the list of BJP's fake cases against AAP. The AAP leader alleged that in the past 10 years, the BJP has filed over 200 cases against the AAP leaders, but still not a single rupee has been found despite all the investigations.
"Former minister Manish Sisodia was summoned for questioning in a fake classroom scam case. This is yet another addition to the series of fake cases filed by the BJP. In the past 10 years, the BJP government and its various agencies have filed over 200 cases against AAP members -- but despite all the raids and investigations, they haven't found even 1 rupee of corrupt money from any AAP leader", Atishi told reporters in New Delhi.
Atishi further slammed the Delhi government and mentioned that the real reason behind the ACB probe is because BJP is unable to govern in the national capital. She highlighted that the Delhi government has failed at every front whether it be the waterlogging, electricity, or rising school fees.
