Pot Calling Kettle Black: BJP Hits Back At Kejriwal In Delhi Excise Case

New Delhi: BJP on Friday likened Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's alleged role in excise case to a playback singer who is not seen on screen but is voice in song and said his attack on ruling party is a case of pot calling kettle black.

BJP national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi rejected Kejriwal's claim of innocence and said a trail of graft money has been established by investigators.

His counterattack on Aam Ami Party (AAP) leer came after Kejriwal claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has accepted that excise policy case is wrong.

Modi h in an interview described Kejriwal as an "experienced thief", claiming that as an ex-IRS officer he knew how probe agencies work and h tried to cover his tracks in case.

Trivedi said money trail has demonstrated which companies have benefited from Kejriwal government's policies.

BJP leer noted that even court has acknowledged this on numerous occasions. This is why he was in jail, he said.

"In Goa, AAP candidates have mitted that y have received money and suspiciously money has come from same sources that have been considered beneficiaries," he said.

Trivedi said Kejriwal is only chief minister in history of India who has not resigned from his post even after going to jail.

Although judiciary gave him interim bail to join election campaign under specific conditions, including refraining from commenting on his case, but way he is promoting his case with misleing and confusing propaganda is not surprising, he said.
