Delhi Chief Minster Arvind Kejriwal – whose Aam Aadmi Party has been embroiled in controversies amid the poll season – on Saturday made a ferventappeal to the national capital ahead of the December 4 elections for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). With a new video surfacing online that shows Delhi minister Satyendar Jain, Kejriwal said that false allegations were being against his party’s leaders and nothing was found. In a tweet, the AAP chief wrote in Hindi: “MCD polls in two sentences – Ten videos by the BJP and 10 development works done by Kejriwal. On December 4, public will give the reply.”

The post on Twitter came after he addressed a briefing virtually where he said that the name of his deputy – Manish Sisodia – is not in the chargesheet filed by the CBI in the Delhi excise policy case. “In a way, the CBI has given him a clean-chit. About 800 officers of the agency are working day and night in the case. And the chargesheet proves that they have got not proof,” he said during the briefing. “They were claiming it is a 10,000 crore scam. They teared down walls and what not in his house. Now they are saying a supplementary chargesheet will come.”

Targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he further said: “We are being investigated since 2015 when our party came to power. We have got our certificate from the Prime Minister. Today, I can claim to be honest. Our party can claim to be honest. PM Modi claims to be working for 18 hours. But for all 18 hours, you think of targeting us. Take out two hours to serve the country, and to help citizens tackle their issue.”

His comments come amid intense campaigning by the AAP in Delhi for civic polls, and Gujarat and Himachal for assembly elections.

Satyendar Jain’s videos from Tihar jail and the liquor policy case – in which Sisodia was named as an accused – continue to be the flashpoints between the BJP and the AAP.
