Aam Aadmi Party Must Answer for the Corruption Stains on Its Own Record Before Pointing Fingers at the BJP: Ravi Rawat
Anil Masih matter is sub judice; AAP remembers the issue only as Municipal Corporation elections approach — an attempt to mislead the public for political gains
Chandigarh, 13.11.26-: Ravi Rawat, State Media Coordinator of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Chandigarh Pradesh, strongly criticised the Aam Aadmi Party for its attempt to gherao the BJP office, Kamalam, and for indulging in political protests over the matter concerning nominated councillor Anil Masih.
Ravi Rawat said that the matter concerning Anil Masih is already under consideration before the court. Despite this, the Aam Aadmi Party is repeatedly trying to politicise the issue and mislead the public. He questioned why AAP has suddenly become so active on this matter as the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation elections are approaching. This clearly reflects the party’s political desperation and its attempt to divert public attention from its own record.
Ravi Rawat said that before making allegations against the BJP, the Aam Aadmi Party should first answer the people about the corruption-related allegations and cases involving its own ministers and leaders in Punjab. Several AAP leaders have faced serious allegations, investigations or legal action.
He referred to the cases involving former Punjab Health Minister Vijay Singla, who was dismissed from the Cabinet and arrested in connection with an alleged commission demand; AAP MLA Amit Ratan Kotfatta, who was arrested in an alleged bribery case; former MLA Jaswant Singh Gajjanmajra, who faced Enforcement Directorate action in connection with alleged bank loan irregularities; and former minister Fauja Singh Sarari, who resigned following controversy over an alleged audio recording.
He also referred to the vigilance action involving AAP MLA Raman Arora and the Enforcement Directorate action involving Punjab Minister Sanjeev Arora. These matters, along with other allegations and investigations concerning AAP leaders, raise serious questions that the party must answer before attempting to lecture others.
Ravi Rawat clarified that the allegations and investigations mentioned above are subject to legal proceedings, and the final determination of guilt rests with the competent courts. However, the Aam Aadmi Party cannot escape its responsibility to provide clear answers to the people.
He said that the people of Chandigarh are well aware of the political tactics being employed by AAP. Instead of focusing on public issues and presenting its performance before citizens, the party is trying to create controversy by repeatedly raising matters that are already before the court.
Ravi Rawat asserted that the BJP believes in the rule of law and respects the judicial process. The Aam Aadmi Party should stop misleading the public and first answer the questions being raised about its own leaders and governance in Punjab.
