'Not everyone is Sanjay Singh': AAP on Raaj Kumar Anand's resignation

Synopsis

Bharadwaj echoed Singh's sentiments, stressing that Anand's resignation highlighted the BJP's ongoing efforts to destabilize the AAP. "When we said the BJP was trying to break the AAP, we were accused of lying. Now it's clear," Singh said.

Minutes after Raaj Kumar Anand, a former member of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Delhi cabinet, tendered his resignation citing corruption allegations, AAP leader and Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj on Wednesday (April 10) wasted no time in addressing the media, asserting that Anand's resignation was a result of fear and pressure, claiming that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was behind the move.

Addressisng a press conference, Sanjay Singh said, "This proves that breaking the Aam Aadmi Party is the target of the BJP. Raaj Kumar Anand was raided by the ED and all BJP leaders called him corrupt. Now it is for the world to see whether Raaj Kumar Anand is welcomed to the BJP with a garland."
