NEW DELHI: AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday alleged that the Gandhi family has not faced jail in the National Herald case despite what he called clear facts, and claimed there is a wider perception that the Congress has "compromised" with the BJP.
" Politics of compromise doesn't work. If you think that a compromise will happen behind closed doors and the public won't find out, that's not the case. Everything becomes known. The public isn't foolish," Kejriwal said.
He added, "Nowadays, there's talk everywhere. Some say Mayawati has compromised, some say Owaisi has compromised, and now people are saying even Congress has compromised. Recently, while I was talking to people in Goa, they were saying that five of our (AAP's) top leaders were jailed by the BJP. Why hasn't a single Congress leader gone to jail, despite all the noise about the National Herald case?"
"I didn’t know what the National Herald is. I read about it on the internet, and it sounds quite serious. Based on the facts, it seems like an open-and-shut case. They fabricated a completely false case to send us to jail. None of the Gandhi family members went to jail," he said.
Referring to other cases, Kejriwal remarked, "There was a lot of noise about him (Robert Vadra) during the 2014 elections. They won the elections using his name. Now, no one talks about it. The 2G case was closed, the coal scam was closed, and other cases were closed. There's something going on, and the public isn't naive. People are discussing that there's an alliance between Congress and BJP."
He said AAP would continue to fight without compromise. "We (Aam Aadmi Party) didn’t come here to form alliances; we came for the country and will continue to fight for it. Never engage in politics of compromise," Kejriwal stated.
Meanwhile, Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal called AAP Convenor Arvind Kejriwal's allegations "baseless".
Hitting out at Kejriwal, Sibal said, "Kejriwal ji: When you made allegations against several politicians and others and was dragged to court you apologised!"
"Today you made baseless allegations against the Gandhi family (National Herald case). Stop the bickering. Let’s together fight the larger battle!" he said in a post on X.
